Do I win?
Nope, I don't think so. It tries to crack the password using word lists and bruteforcing. Brute forcing a key that long would take about 10^20 years using a network of ~35,000-40,000 2GHz Athlon XP machines. Wordlists would likely not lower the time required enough even if words are used like last year, the key is too long and there are still a number of other characters in the key.

You're welcome to try this tool when the encrypted sections come out (if they come out), but I don't think you'll get very far.
