About

pgpry is a Pthread-based password recovery program for private OpenPGP keys. It reads private key data from stdin and performs a brute-force attack in order to recover the pass phrase. Numerous options for restricting the key space are offered, including regular expression filtering and prefix/suffix filters.

Features:

• Guessing based on a dictionary or a character set (incremental and random)
• State saving and restoring (for incremental guessing)
• Regular expression filtering
• Addition of prefixes/suffixes to the guessed words
• Parsing of binary and ASCII-armored OpenPGP data
