Fun with BCrypt

I installed this today and immediately started testing it out. It seems to work pretty well, and does take a full 448-bit key. When messing with the write-over function though, I'm not so sure it works how it's supposed to. Is there a limit on how many times you can specify? I didn't notice any time difference between overwriting the area 10 times, 10000 times, and 1000000000000 times. A trillion write-overs should have made a hole in my hard drive, and it didn't.

Anyways, good stuff. Does anyone know of a GUI front-end for it?
