nasty  is a program that helps you to recover the passphrase of your PGP or GPG-key in case you forget or
       lost it.

       Nasty will not work if you try it with a gpg-agent running in your system. For obvious reasons the  agent
       will ask you the passphrase to access your private key - which you probably don't record, right? :)
