Yes, so? I still don't see your point here. Why do you always insist in these
stupid passwords? The difference between blowfish ans AES comes to light
when your password could be "w_edfjlk675$! /.}:iue%wazbv!/*-+A~\:Xfhg
jklIUOpo;ik[pkJjh.HHG<685".
Given a plaintext and corresponding ciphertext you can crack it if you are using
DES but you can't crack it using AES.

Lots of Greetings!
