lol you forgot eye of newt!

"Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

I love macbeth

dictionary attack, so no.

Dictionary attacks are almost useless against a pass-phrase that employs multiple words and spaces in between. The idea is to make your pass-phrase into a sentence replete with capitals and punctuation in the correct places.
