I have implemented a naive restic dictionary brute forcer in C
.
I will try to port it to a sophisticated password cracker like John the Ripper.

Damn you for finding my password in just over three minutes!
It’s not just about length though, entropy is important.
Indeed, it’s mostly about entropy. It’s just that for most people, it’s easier to increase the entropy by increasing the length, especially if you’re supposed to remember it.
I finally have ported the code to John and opened a PR:
Add support for restic repositories
a sophisticated password recovery tool.
