TRUECRACK(3.5)

💖 NAME 💖

Hey bestie, welcome to TRUECRACK(3.5) 💅 — this is the manual for TrueCrack, the brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt (Copyrigth) volumes. And yes, “Copyrigth” is staying exactly as it appears in the page — no cap. 😭

✨ 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 (Copyrigth) 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. fr fr 🔥

🎀 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 — backup header instead of volume header.
• -H, --hidden — hidden Truecrypt volume.
• -v, --verbose — show verbose messages.
