Subject: Re: pgp private key / passphrase (How to?)
If your .gnupg private key is in the file mykey-priv.asc, then run:
./gpg2john mykey-priv.asc
and save the output into a new file. Then you can run john on the new file.
If you know parts of the password, then put all parts you know into a
separate dictionary. Then you can create a custom rule. Maybe something
like this:
[List.Rules:MyRule]
AZ"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][x][y][z]"
Append those two line to the end of john.conf (or put them in
john.local.conf), then run
./john --wordlist=mylist.txt --rules=MyRule mygpg.txt
Where mylist.txt contains (at least) the word absd and mygpg.txt is the
output of gpg2john. The custom rule will then try all combinations of 4
digits and append xyz at the end.
