Yes, it's a dictionary based cracker.

Could be useful for checking for weak passwords.

For $4, I'm going to see what it does. :)

Jared,

This seems to be a 'brute force' dictionary based attack, as I believe the Oracle password is a one-way trapdoor (just as UNIX). I don't think this will be able to crack a strong password created from say a combination of the first characters of an arbitrary sentence.
