in thread Reverse MD5

See Blowfish and check out the section "Blowfish in Practice". I know SuSE linux uses this Blowfish hash for it's passwords, and many distros have advanced options when you install, to select the hashing algorithm to be used. Blowfish is commonly listed. Also google for "blowfish hash".

    According to your own reference material, it's apparently a bit of a misnomer. Emphasis mine:

    the password-hashing method used in OpenBSD uses an algorithm derived from Blowfish

    It's unfortunate if they called this hashing algorithm Blowfish as well.
