Comment on So I lost my OpenBSD FDE password (2016)

Comments

I've been meaning to do this with my LUKS headers and zpool headers since reading about fast bcrypts via GPU a few weeks ago; I suspect that my FDE passwords are not powerful enough, but I'd like to put them to the test.

just add aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa in front of it so bruteforcing will not try anything with enough characters to even get close to your password (/s)

I'll just have to add a macro key to my keyboard that automatically types the correct number of "a"s
