Are there Bitcoin password crackers I can use to recover forgotten passwords? I've lost the password to one of my wallets (it's a small one, don't worry). I was sure I remembered the password ... but evidently I don't.

Is there a program that I can use to brute-force my password, given hints?

Meaning, suppose that I remember that my password was "abc", but in fact maybe it's "Abc" or "Abc0". I would give the cracker program the string "abc" as a hint, and it would try a lot of permutations on it until it finds the real password.

Does such a cracker program currently exist? (Reliable sources please, hopefully open source)
Revalin made available a sript that you can try running:

There may not yet be anything else, but you'ld probably find someone willing to write one if you offered to send your wallet along with what you think the pass phrase might be and ask only for a fraction of the wallet's bitcoins back once cracked.
