Brute Force VeraCrypt Encryption

Описание

In this video we'll take a look at brute-forcing VeraCrypt's standard encryption mode using hashcat to get the job done.

I caught myself thinking: how long would it actually take to brute-force specific password masks? That’s when I decided to put it to the test using Hashcat and an operating system equipped with a graphics card.

========= Commands ===========
1) Extract VeraCrypt hash:
dd.exe if=..\encrypted\target of=..\encrypted\target_hash.tc bs=512 count=1

2) Hashcat brute-force command:
hashcat.exe -a 3 -w 1 -m 13721 hash.tc ?d?d?d?d
