Attention all Linux Mystic sysops who use cryptlib for SSH,

I've just managed to get 3.4.9.6 working with the newer ciphers - created a shim that translates session-attribute enum values (as
Mystic has hardcoded them using the number lol).
If anyone wants to test, call my bbs via ssh on port 45022, and make sure that the "Allow AES128-CBC" is set to "No" - so you use
the newer ciphers (thanks @Deuce for making SyncTERM the greatest!)

Mystic still sends data early, so the "Accept Early Data" needs to remain as "Yes" for the moment.
I made an installer too, so anyone who has Mystic v1.12 A49 (and maybe older versions) should be able to use my shim plus the
latest version of cryptlib (as of today - newer will need an upgraded conversion table likely)
I think it could be useful for Mystic sysops - especially considering Mystic is now abandonware (or seemingly), having a more
uptodate cryptlib and using newer ciphers keeps us safe and secure =)

ML! I forgot already, where do we find the new lib and where do we put it for netrunner to use it?

Hey MK =)

You can find all the information here; https://github.com/christiansacks/mystic-cryptlib-3.4.9.6

If you install this on your Mystic install, then scp/copy the /path/to/mystic/libs dir into the same dir your Netrunner binary lives in, that will cover you for all.

I didn't see a method to install this in Windows... a build.bat would be great!
