So people, let me get this right...  PGP scrambles my passphrase
in an "md5 hash of 2048bits(for example)" like way to produce
something... that something is my publick key? or is it my
private key? or is it the IDEA key? and what is that IDEA key???
please correct me where i am wrong... or direct me to some good
reading about how pgp works... i read some faqs but couldnt
figure it out...  so, my thoughts are these:  -if pgp uses my
passphrase to generate this "something" and every time i type my
passphrase it checks wether this "something" corresponds(could
have been generated by) to the passphrase, maby i can find a way
to check this myself using a tool that can use a dictionary or a
mask attack...  -i could also find a tool (and i really need
your help in this)that actually tries passphrases contained in a
dictionary directly in the PGP passphrase prompt.  since i
remember most of my passphrase i can actually use a mask attack
or generate a dictionary that would be, as i calculated, less
than 100GB
