What happens if he says he doesn't remember his password anymore?
ie: sits down, and seemingly tries to decrypt, but tries 1( or 50 times) and says "Oh shucks, I forgot"?
- mattnewton 10y agoThat's a real concern after 16 months, assuming the password was obscure enough. And I doubt a judge would be amused, raising the specter of indefinite detention without trial.
- angry_octet 10y agoAny significantly genuine attempt to remember the password will reduce the entropy to such an extent that your rpi could crack it. The fact that in our brain the fragments are hopelessly jumbled and you forgot if you added 1999! or 1990? to the end does not mean a computer cannot achieve a significant shortcut. In fact I cracked one of my own filevault v1 passwords, from a Powerbook G4, using this technique. I had a muscle memory for part of the password, and that was enough to make it tractable.

- sjy 10y agoThat's precisely what happened, and the judge didn't believe him, partly because he declined to say on oath that he had forgotten the password.
