Wrong. It's not the iteration count - it's the octet count of how many
octets will be hashed.

Hi,


-- Mode 3 has a maximum working factor of 255 (one octet to specify
iterations),


The one octet encodes much larger values, see RFC 4880 section 3.7.1.3.
for the formula applied to it. A literal value of 255 in this octet would
compute to an iteration count of 65 millions.


Regards,

Nils
