Avoid requirement for root privileges. #5

Root privileges are not required anymore because cryptsetup is called in dry-run mode which does not actually change device mapper configuration.

This should work under non-root user as long as the user can access the device. You can e.g. copy LUKS header to a file and run the cracker on this file. $ dd if=/dev/source of=/tmp/luks-header bs=1M count=10
