Fortunately the character set for the missing last four characters were quite small. So my desktop could brute force it in a day. I just thought it was strange that I couldn't do better than around 1.5 tries per second. Even though I moved the target disk image from usb to a sata3 ssd on the desktop. And how many threads I configured didn't seem to matter either. /Jerome _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
