And if you read that file, you will read that they used DES for hashing. Reminds me of the LM hash. The LM hash generated two hashes using DES from two 7 byte parts of a 14 byte password. Basically they use each individual 7 byte part as a DES key to encrypt a fixed string. Repeat this twice for each 7 byte part, and concatenate the results, and you get the LM hash.
