now that have finally gotten decryption with the session key to work ;-), discovered something very curious ...
this was the 'good' command with the session key string: gpg --override-session-key 2:1568A79A26ABCB75C294AA07AB73C53A7D168F2B898F93BE c:\r\s.txt when retyping, i accidentally changed the last character to an F instead of an E and it *still* worked! should this be? or is the last character of the session string also an identifier of some sort, but not really part of the key that was used to encrypt/decrypt? for reference and reproducibility, here is the original encrypted message: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Acts of Kindness better the World, and protect the Soul hQEOA9kZp67w50lIEAQAq8301JNDrLFkpxOessXpzJZP/yd7Ejw6nrzPsMiCzSDH sD53TaV2+mz89QkD/L4ZWrBGLetpxJ4hbAZqIYMNnLwRq3Ip3VSNLvG0b+CHuMH4 fBIEnj07JkjZ+zB9VBvSIWePqXiSWDKbNBGcVrWCKnqKnEn1JkZRdfcxbjys7PIE AI4aB6uITbtEUrFTcXLgVUMnVi7qLNQtdg+t9j7BiLJnq4Hoe7g/VV5LzqXuVYsQ FQCEpt4CotgaMWM20GUJvGyvsy1CAhHK4ZeQy8elc2ouHm/H48oUBBEG2343fqAW zcbaaFPWaBIBeAg/ntTxb5HPLTm8nQnHnST0Tar9XKkhhQIMA6yhY/YEre4gARAA kGM+IWtMKipvr2GBzzh9HxdpLKvGv9jRXnv9gRTpiv85v6Iz+eOe5NL6e5L+FaiN 5fMObEMp2MnqMap6FSwPqT9ibDjzO+eGbaWngkXMdkY3FyuRbij1+x8boVVYK1WK sHRmFAiDe5JKFB06h812B75zML72px+wJNuDWTUhtynSrsfJ72kuq1GD3wz0UZSh GcfDzMu7U7DgPqRice31afDQdhbL08TibSxgY9mrTA2cPQakOKRFzwNNywl5/gCb iXoBz1nFMVbXbMSEoVvKy2IyOcVOH9mNL9ZBaeMfW2wFvjAOpWPkuEPyy8SWxhRt pzmIFcDFOew6w9wkewQcqWl0vFHAWx4hdvgB/xRbNMCuJ85ff91mbBV0Z1SzxGrJ YDEH6I9Aum/41aCXDrYE/kkyfgI1pHss2JT95DqL1w0G2uKaO5FPKJxVUZmD3ojk wEV+43YggiQ2GXKgC8PDX5Za+U/08BqqQnxy1UuKtq3RU0yIZ06CevXqhVbtCQre Y5hW5uwhLe3wp8jkSK6avaSs4MvKePO0FAsCRdEAZBWJGohYHZ9w8LfYB5ynbLeA 1SnAYgVTVUDNGw1kEraBIe98qFlGpI77lGxbRK3l/TSDYbCB9JDqREzDVi+tTKW/ Hg5YSb+wKyBfy04iscZVQ3xzN/WTBpJ07q6utaKD0j3SPwHAmF3UB/mPbbOYLIaN MemUCLbrz0x8HpluBRw0V04n8zK5Ip5tU2Dg4UwGcAf76nunrol0WAHVxJ6xZ2RK 9A== =Lxsg try both these session keys on whatever filename you save the message as gpg --override-session-key 2:1568A79A26ABCB75C294AA07AB73C53A7D168F2B898F93BF filename gpg --override-session-key 2:1568A79A26ABCB75C294AA07AB73C53A7D168F2B898F93BE filename tia, vedaal Concerned about your privacy?
