NAME
nasty - A tool which helps you to recover your GPG passphrase
SYNOPSIS
nasty [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
nasty is a program that helps you to recover the passphrase of your PGP
or GPG-key in case you forget or lost it.
OPTIONS
-a x set minimum length of passphrase
-b x set maximum length
-m x set guessing mode:
incremental: try them all
random: try at random
file: read phrases from file (use -i)
-i x file to read the passphrases from
-f x file to write the found passphrase to
-c x...
charset, one or more from the following:
a: a-z
A: A-Z
0: 0-9
.: all ascii values (32...126)
+: 32...255 (default(!))
-h show command options
ISSUES
Nasty will not work if you try it with a gpg-agent running in your
system. For obvious reasons the agent will ask you the passphrase to
access your private key - which you probably don’t record, right? :)
