11 There are some candidate passphrases. I tried them all with rephrase and all
12 the permutations that I could think of.
13
14 Now I am trying app-crypt/nasty, for brute force cracking, but I can't get it
15 to work. :-(
16
17 It keeps popping up my pinentry and asking me for my default key passphrase,
18 not the key I am trying to feed to it.
19
20 Is there a way to change that script I posted so that it a)takes the
21 passphrases from a file, or b)incrementally tries {a,b,...,z}, and/or capitals
22 and/or numbers?
