Two problems with that for me:

1. I couldn't buy it previously 'cos I don't live in US/Canada.

2. Symantec have pulled it anyway.

Symantec has quietly pulled the plug on sales of L0phtCrack, the venerable 
password auditing and recovery application.

The decision to discontinue support for L0phtCrack, also known as LC5, 
comes just months after Symantec stopped selling the application to 
customers outside the United States and Canada out of concerns that it 
violated cryptography export controls.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based security vendor could not be reached for 
comment on the decision, but a note sent to existing L0phtCraft users said 
the product did not fit into Symantec's plans for the future.

The ship date of L0phtCraft was Mar. 3, 2006 and Symantec will offer 
customer help until Dec. 16, 2006. The company will not be shipping any 
product code updates, enhancements or fixes to L0phtCraft after March 3.
