Hello,

dar's blowfish encryption is weakened by frequent IV collisions. Fix
under work (patch proposed), release 2.3.4 will be available when this
bug will be fixed.

I guess that it is still not easy to access encrypted data without the
encryption key, but dar's implementation is not as strong as it could be.

Kind Regards,
Denis.
