christiangenco / How to bruteforce a TrueCrypt volume
Last active April 28, 2021 06:43
Brute force a TrueCrypt volume password with a known list on Mac OS X (works similarly on linux/ubuntu)
# First you need to know the name of your TrueCrypt disk. In this example, after running the `diskutil list` command,
# you can see that my 2TB TrueCrypt disk is mounted at /dev/disk2, and the encrypted partition is named "disk2s1"
# (see the IDENTIFIER column). That's the name I need to use in the ruby script.
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 250.1 GB disk0s2

# If you, like me, have always known about this `awk` thing
# when stealing one liners from Stack Overflow but always put
# off actually learning it, here's your 10 second lesson:
# Print lines in FILENAME that match pattern (the $0 is a

$ awk '/pattern/{print $0}' FILENAME

christiangenco / I before E, except after C.md
Last active August 29, 2015 14:13
I before E, except after C

Like in belIEve, fIErce, collIE, dIE, or frIEnd.

But flip "ie" if it's after C, like in deCEIve, CEIling, reCEIpt, or CEIlidh.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, though, like in speCIEs, sCIEnce, suffiCIEnt, or sEIze, wEIrd, vEIn, thEIr, forEIgn, or fEIsty.

In fact, in the default dictionary for Mac OS X 10.10, there are 2717 exceptions to this rule, and only 3901 words that follow it (full list below).

In other words: if you're trying to decide if a word should be spelled with "ie" or "ei," following this rule will only help you guess correctly 6 times out of 10.
