I have a naive question.
While your brute force decryption is running, how do you determine
you have found the "one key" and decide it's time to stop?
Among trillions of trillions, when do you know you've hit the
jackpot?
The answer is probably obvious but I just don't see it.
When you can decrypt the document with it?
You don't have access to the original unencrypted document to compare
your output/solutions with, obviously you wouldn't need to decrypt it in
the first place.. how do you know when you have successfully decrypted?
The wrong key either (in the case of cryptfs) won't decrypt the
file, or (alternatively) will create gobbledygook.
