Is there any other way?

Thanks! :)

Thanks! I learned a lot here. :)

Sorry for spamming. I just tried encrypting it with my own credentials as recipient. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much! :D

By the way, is --throw-keyidsa countermeasure against man in the middle attacks? Does it assume that the recipient’s private key has been compromised?

Thanks! I (kind of) came to the same conclusion after finding and reading this.

Thanks! Great insight! Yeah, I didn’t mean to say that the attacker knows the characteristics of the target’s passwords. I meant to say, “let’s assume that the attackers assumes…” Why any attacker every would assume anything is beyond the point, since I guess they wouldn’t, haha. I’m sure seasoned hackers are methodical and empirical in their conquests.

Yeah, social engineering throws a lot of hardware and software hurdles out of the… Chassi.

They haven’t covered it in my IT class yet. Maybe it’s a fall semester thing.

Thanks! The answer I take with me from this, in regards to my question, is: an attacker wouldn’t try to brute force secure passwords because of hardware limitations and that, typically, only insecure passwords are valuable targets for brute force attacks. Also, that going after information that is not viable for brute forcing requires social engineering.

I’m really not deep enough into that culture to understand what you mean. Either that, or it’s that I’m a non native speaker? 😅 Please explain. 🙏 Is it not just a nerdy way of saying “making a Linux desktop environment look fancy”?

Gotta love how they feel the need to emphasize GDPR compliance 🤣

Oh! I’ll check 'em out! If they try to connect anywhere I’ll just block them anyway. 😈

Nah, tried it, but alas… I just went home and did it with LibreOffice on my Linux rig.

Why? People above ricing now? 🤣

Didn’t work for some reason. Now I’m guessing the files were read-only. But then again, LibreOffice opened them without issues on my Linux rig a few minutes ago…

Done and done 👌 thanks! 😊

Yeah, it’s pretty sweet! There’s even a whole sub over at Reddit. But be warned: I once asked politely why they insist on ricing their termux instances - expecting some sincere replies - and I got bullied out of there faster than the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run…

Yep, that still seems to be the case.

Yeah, I’m on my way home now to do this on my Linux rig. Ugh… Would’ve been nice to be able to do it from my tab at the cafe, but, we can’t have it all, I guess 🤣

Thanks! I just tried it, and it failes to load the documents, unfortunately.
