🔒 I Lost My Damn LUKS Passphrase 🤦

🙏 Help Me Swarm, You're My Only Hope

I've decided to make my LUKS header publicly available along with a bunch of heuristics about what my passphrase probably looks like so that anyone can try to figure out what my LUKS passphrase is.

🔍 Password Heuristics

Here's what I remember about my passphrase (I know, I'm a dumbass):

• It definitely starts with Thingy
  • It could start with just Thing but I highly doubt it
• After "Thingy" there might be an exclamation mark
• There's a 753 or a 564 somewhere, or something similar
• There are other symbols. I think I did a little pattern at the top left of the keyboard; something like @3!%6$, @Qq!, etc...
• It definitely ends with ,./;'

⚙️ Current Bruteforce Command

This is the command I'm using currently. On the Framework 16 it says it'll be done in 2029 to 2030.

I would like to challenge this estimate. 💪

./bruteforce-luks -t 4 -b "Thingy" -e ",./;'" -l 16 -m 18 -s '!@#$%1234567' -v 5 -w state.txt ./luks-header.bin
