Veracrypt + PIM hashcat command - nightmonster - 05-17-2026
Greetings,
may I ask for help? I have locked couple years ago my usb disk with veracrypt ( not sure what version was in that time) but also used PIM. I think 00 or 01 or 11 or 1. I have extracted the has for the flash disk volume. But also dont remember if I used SHA 256 or 512.
I have created some list of possible combination of words and numbers. Nothing else it cant be. How should look the hashcat command to use my list of passwords eg. pw.txt and PIM=11 ?
thank you

Hashcat -a0 -m29423 <hash file> pw.txt --veracrypt-pim-start=0 --veracrypt-pim-stop=11
That's for sha512. For sha256 use -m29453.

thank you for your support. I was to hasty. I found some examples
.29421 VeraCrypt SHA512 + XTS 512 bit
29422 VeraCrypt SHA512 + XTS 1024 bit
29423 VeraCrypt SHA512 + XTS 1536 bit
29451 VeraCrypt SHA256 + XTS 512 bit
29452 VeraCrypt SHA256 + XTS 1024 bit
29453 VeraCrypt SHA256 + XTS 1536 bit
