Subject: Re: Brute force Easy-RSA CA key with JTR?
This does not seem that promissing :/
Out of the box i can't get the script to work, i also tried to change
encrypted to RSA (to match the first "tag" case) and even removing the
headers, none yelded a good result
The tag on my priv key is "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----"
