Re: Crack GPG Password

You *can't* extract a part of a password like the OP is looking for. The
algorithm used in creating the encrypted product doesn't look at your
password as discrete chunks to be guessed like you see in the movies
where you see, "Oh my @#$! He has the first three numbers already!"
while you hear a crescendo of suspenseful music.


Again, the way I read it the OP wants to find out the missing part. If
I have a password of "password" but all I remember is "passwor" then I
can brute force the remaining bit. I would try "passwora", "passworb",
"passworc" then finally have success with "password". I read the
original message as wanting exactly that (can the OP pop up and
clarify?!?). A brute force attack on five characters using standard
english keyboard characters shouldn't take that long.

You're right, it isn't like the movies where it solves one character at
a time but the attack can be just as quick.
