NAME 🖥️ truecrack 🖥️

Brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt (Copyright) volumes.

SYNOPSIS

truecrack -t truecrypt_file -w passwords_file [OPTION…]
truecrack -t truecrypt_file -c alphabet [OPTION…]

DESCRIPTION

TrueCrack is a brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt (Copyright) volumes. It works on Linux and it is optimized for Nvidia Cuda technology.

It supports:

  • PBKDF2 (defined in PKCS5 v2.0) based on key derivation functions: Ripemd160, Sha512 and Whirlpool.
  • XTS block cipher mode for hard disk encryption based on encryption algorithms: AES, SERPENT, TWOFISH.
  • File-hosted (container) and Partition/device-hosted.
  • Hidden volumes and Backup headers.

TrueCrack is able to perform a brute-force attack based on:

  • Dictionary: read the passwords from a file of words.
  • Alphabet: generate all passwords of given length from given alphabet.

TrueCrack works on gpu and cpu. TrueCrack requires a lots of resources: we suggest a dedicated gpu board.

OPTIONS

-h, –help
Display help information

-k, –key ripemd160 | sha512 | whirlpool
Key derivation function (default ripemd160).

-e, –encryption aes | serpent | twofish
Encryption algorithm (default aes)

-a, –aggressive blocks
Number of parallel computations (board dependent).

-m, –maxlength maxlength
Maximum length of passwords, for Alphabet attack.

-s, –startlength startlength
Starting length of passwords, for Alphabet attack (default 1).

-r, –restore number
Restore the computation.

-b, –backup
