A guy is willing to pay $1000 to anyone that can guess his PGPDisk
passphrase.  There are a lot of constraints he remembers, so it's a
reasonable contest: a sentence, very profane, all lowercase, no spaces
or punctuation, maybe ends in 123.  Source code for a PGPDisk breaker
and details of the contest are at
