Unfortunately I forgot my passphrase but can remember some
characters and the position of them in the phrase.
I wrote a bash-script to check a list of passwords which
are all candidates.
I also created a test-gpg-account to test the script before
I run it with the quite longer list.
Now the output of the test-script shows me that it works
at a speed of about three tests per second and it finds the
correct phrase.
But if I run the same script in my actual
environment, in the .gnupg directory I see the passwords
running at a much higher speed. The output per check is
the same. But this script doesn't find the passphrase.
The script reads:
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo $1
while read -r line
do
echo $line
gpg --batch --yes --homedir /home/user/.gnupg -o zahl.txt --passphrase
$line --decrypt zahl.gpg
success=$?
if [ $success -eq 0 ]; then echo "success: $line"; exit 0; fi
done < $1
echo "No success"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anybody have any idea?
Best
Josef
