What does Assange use as a password?

Does it look like

What did Assange walk (re: get dragged) out of the embassy with, again?

So we have 10 words

And now our task is to find out which "collection" of symbols (plus a possible extra word) unlocks some insurance file.

It should be obvious why the password is not some 800 character string of random letters - it's not exactly a dead man's switch if you can't even remember the fucking password.

Just to get this out of the way, all of these are disinfo and don't work.

"ONION"

"Berlin?A!Collection+Of#Documents@Containing~Emails%FromUSA=A0F0"

"London!Documents(Of$A:Most\Sensitive~Nature:From"Europe>USA<UK/A1F1"

"Jakarta(A)Emails/Images;PDFs;VideosDOCs+From[Around]The}World{A2F2"

However, they contain a grain of truth in how Wikileaks passwords are (very likely) structured. A book synopsis makes the most sense. It is possible to be remembered and easily covertly transferred, and if the exact string is lost, it can still be dictionary'd.

The file Wikileaks sent to the journalist who leaked Cablegate was a 7z encrypted by gpg. While insurance files are encrypted by openssl and not gpg (see the file analysis on a unix system), it can be safely assumed that WL insurance files are encrypted 7zips, because it would not be a dead man's switch if you could not open it with a simple, predictable process. Not only this, but 7z provides the best level of lossless compression.

Here is a command to decrypt Wikileaks insurance files provided you have the password.

openssl enc -d -aes256 -in wlinsurance-20130815-A.aes256 -out wlinsurance-20130815-A.7z -k "YourFavorite_Disinfo_PasswordHere#"

Since there's only one place an adjective similar to "Diplomacy" fits into our book synopsis, (onto Collection), it may be safe to say we don't have to add any extra words. And that would also make sense with this being the DMS. With that in mind, testing our series of words against combinations of special characters becomes feasible.

From the password to the secret archive, we know that at the very least, underscores and a pound sign are being used, but there could be other symbols.

Here is where it gets interesting - our book synopsis has the same amount of words as that password minus one. We may not even have to brute force.

That is a really interesting coincedence. Let's try putting them together using our assumption "if it is a dead man's switch, the process to open will be clearly disclosed."

To add to the already MOUNTING evidence we are on the right track, both "with" and "since" are prepositions.

We might actually be missing a word still. However, we can try THIS to make the word count exactly the same.

I currently do not have enough hard drive space to test any passwords against insurance file C yet. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Note that you will need 2x the space of that file to decrypt it.

Illegally

I believe we are getting very close. Test this permutation:
