openssl determination

[crate]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how would u determine what encryption to use for an openssl enc -d
I realized that when I did the de-ice cd I got lucky because it was the first encryption that I chose, but how would i determine it if it were another

Try:

openssl --help
man openssl

well most the time the sshd will tell you "hey I dont do blowfish" etc .. so force someing to it and if it errors out you know its not that crypt ?

Was hoping it wasn't that, cause I did the trial and error for second de-ice one. Ah well I hope there's another way, cause it is partially time consuming
