PSA: Upgrade your LUKS key derivation function
> His encryption password was supposedly greater than 20 characters and included a mixture of cases, numbers, and punctuation, so in the absence of any sort of opsec failures this implies that even relatively complex passwords can now be brute forced.<p>Sorry but there's no world in which this password was bruteforced in 2023, even if they were using just SHA1 as their PBKDF. Even assuming just upper/lowercase and 20 characters you are looking at 114 bits of entropy. To put this in perspective, if you could use the entire global bitcoin mining equipment (estimated at 350 million terahashes / second) right now without modification to bruteforce this one password it would still take you 4 x 10^37 centuries. The author of the article failed to do this basic math.<p>The dude reused passwords, got keylogged, powned some other way, was coerced, had something unencrypted, or something else happened. But his password did not get bruteforced.
