NAME
strfry - string operation

SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>

char *strfry (s1, s2)
char *s1, *s2;

The arguments s1, and s2 point to strings (arrays of
characters terminated by a null character). The function
strfry may or may not alter s2 alter s1. This function
does not check for overflow of the array pointed to
by s1.

strfry will encrypt s1 using s3 which is a character pointer and
contains random garbage from the stack and use it as the key.
s2 will then be copied to the memory pointed to by the NULL
pointer. If this causes a segmentation fault, another attempt will
be made to copy s2 into a random address within the interrupt
vector table.

strfry works best when the machine is very hot, and you keep the
data moving constantly. Unless your memory devices are teflon
coated.

NOTE
In systems where strfry is installed, make certain permissions
are set as shown for /dev/kmem:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0, 0 May 6 13:40 /dev/kmem

BUGS
In certain machine archetectures strfry doesn't always crash
the system in the first attempt. In these systems, you should
execute it in a loop at least three times. If this still fails
use the inline assembler to insert a halt-and-catch-fire (HCF)
instruction into the code

Character movement is performed differently in different
implementations. Thus overlapping moves may yield
surprises.
