What are you talking about? No there isn't. There is no "publicly available tool to attack 3DES". Hashcat is a password cracker. You know what else it supports? AES. Is AES broken?

It's very difficult for me to imagine a way you could have read my remarks in good faith and come to that conclusion. I hope someday you figure this out, I guess I have no hope of explaining it.

Here's a simple question. When you said:

They were clearly suggesting that there exists a publicly available tool to attack this algorithm.

What were you referring to? If it was Hashcat, then I have just one more question:

Is Hashcat a publicly available tool that attacks AES?

I'm not going back and forth with you if you're not going to discuss the thrust of our disagreement. I am not wading into this minutia with you. I see the game you are playing to evade the subject I am trying to discuss; I'm not interested in playing.

Ok! Seems simple, though.
