I know there is a README.CIPHERS with lots of information about the SSH
ciphers. But what I need is additional information about the blowfish
algorithm:

* is it in widespread use - where is it used (in what other products than
SSH)?
* are there cryptoanalysis-docs about blowfish which are not from Bruce
Schneider itself?
* are there any massive attemts to compromise blowfish (as it was with DES)?
anyone of them successful?
* What was the reason to develop Starfish? Is it the sucessor? Is it more
secure / better? Is it free?

Thanks for any help!
