I have some sensitive files that I dutifully keep encrypted on my hard
disk with gpg using a long pass phrase. Unfortunately, the last time I
encrypted it, I somehow managed to misspell the pass phrase, and type it
that way twice. I've tried the variations I could think of, but so far
no luck. Is anybody aware of a good utility that can rapidly run
permutations on a known pass phrase to guess the right one (preferably
one that I can get without visiting the shady back alleys of the internet)?
