If there were any easy attacks against AES, it wouldn't be AES, it
would only be Rijndael :)

Try picking a copy of Practical Cryptography (Schneier), but unless
they've done anything dumb - like having insufficiently random
initialisation vectors, or using ECB mode instead of CBC to encrypt -
it's probably not going to get you very far.  (Hopefully they have
used a decent crypto library like Botan or Peter Gutmann's one, and
haven't rolled their own.)

Cheers,
Jamie
