Today security fail: openssl enc

OpenSSL lets you strongly encrypt, or decrypt, data! Using a password!

But one day, the devs decided to silently change the defaults for how the password is processed. Because security!

So, depending on how old your encrypted data is, you might need to add `-md md5` to your decryption command... or you might not.

There's no way to know, because security!

So just keep on guessing! ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘
