As mentioned by a previous poster, if you could recover the file thats your best/only bet. You will not find a private cracker though. Once you lose your privates you're a bit SOL as it's made of both your pass phrase and random system noise . Anthony Towry Student mailto.woden () gmail com wrote:
Hi. I have a delema that is quite strange but then again feasable. I did a backup on my system and wiped my harddrive and then installed everything from scratch. My problem was that the PGP keys where locked down on my harddrive and couldn't be copied by the backup system. I didn't check and now I'm left with a few PGP files without any keys. The public key is floating around on the net and I have the password to the secret file but no secret file. Is there any tools available on the net to bruteforce a PGP decryption? Or is the meare fought unfeasable so nobody has created such a tool? best regards
