I just wish you had told us sooner. I have removed that key from http://www.phillylinux.org/keys/phillylinux.gpg. I suggest everyone run this: gpg --delete-key jason@nocks.com (or the equivalent in your pgp type program) > Foolishly, I did not generate a revoke certificate when I generated the key Definitely a good thing to do.

Plus, I'm sure that gpg is not at all streamlined for this so it would be even slower than it could be. Then I started thinking, there are some advantages: 1) He probably knows what sets of characters were used (lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, other). 2) It could be short. 3) There is no time limit. So Jason, if you want to send me a copy of the secret key you lost the passphrase too, and tell me everything you can about what characters might have been used, I'll try to help you brute force it. We can even split the keyspace. It'll be fun :) And I promise to immediately generate a revocation certificate & upload it to the keyservers if I manage to get the passphrase.. or whatever else you want. -- "It's never too late to panic." http://www.ChaosReigns.com Attachment:
