And first hand experience (in French, from a French Prisoner) https://nantes.indymedia.org/posts/87395/une-lettre-divan-en...


Am I wrong, or has this always been a known threat vector? Brute-forcing a password has been a thing for decades, and while more powerful hardware does make it more of a threat, it's not really any different from the other "decryption" techniques the use bruteforcing. This has been a thing on iPhone and Android for a while with the Greykey, too.


1. misleading headline. Should be "Breaking LUKS Encryption" (e.g. by brute force)

2. this is basically an advertisement


Yeah I’ve been considering removing this and replacing its with the french article instead
