Gotta love Unix hacks...

Forgetting your LUKS cryptopart password sucks. But writing a shell oneliner like this:

CODE:

for i in P{a,4}ssw{0,o}rd{-,}Permut{4,a}tions; do
echo -n $i > /tmp/pwd
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 test --keyfile /tmp/pwd && echo $i
done

is awesome. :-) Took me only ten minutes to get it back once I had a copy of the superblock onto my workstation.
