And if the passphrase is really mispelled, perhaps the best approach is to "mutate" it. I would wrote some simple looping program that would do some resonable insertions/deletions/replacements over the original passphrase and would use the result to brute-force the decryption. If there are some fixed time delays anywhere, removing them and re-compiling some kernel module or tool would likely be needed too. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ecryptfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
