No passphrase is necessary unless you want to 'edit' the key. This works in both GnuPG 1.x and 2.x assuming that your keyrings are in your home directory. Don't use gpg-agent for this. vedaal ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

This is ancient, but may help you https://www.vanheusden.com/nasty/ Thanks. But my problem is not the actual brute-forcing part, john is perfect for that. My problem is getting a usable input for john from the current the current private-keys-v1.d/ gpg-agent private key key store format. -- ilf If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
