what do you know, I figured out my password 10 seconds after posting this.  Perhaps this will be of future use to other people in the same situation.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-06)

I have an idea of what my password should be, but am missing something.

Are there any tools or bash scripts to brute force my wallet passwords?

If a dictionary is required, I can pre seed it as necessary (but if I pre-seed a dictionary with my expected passwords that utility better be FOSS so I can review the source ;) )
