RE: Techniques to secure your crypto property

Thanks, I enjoyed your article. Sucks to be ripped off through some little mistake. I think your suggestion to use keyboard language layout switching and writing a phrase in another language is not a good idea. It is easy to add a feature to a dictionary attack that can attempt to map to all known keyboard layouts. All it does is increase the number of combinations to attempt by the # of layouts.

Well, can you imagine how many BIG dictinaries in different languages need to be utilized for such a brute-force attack? Moreover, attacker never knows if set of characters makes any sense or its just a random set.
