Anyway, this is all public information. The password formats are described in detail here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/password_encryptions.html The defaults are different on different platforms for backward-compat reasons. crytp was the long-time standard, and therefore used by default on all unix platforms to allow backward compatibility. But crypt isn't (or at least wasn't at the time) available by default on windows, so another format was used.
