truecrypt with unknown algorithm

[cert]

hi!

I have an truecrypt container with unknown hash algorithm and unknown encryption algorithm. is there a command line parameter to start truecrypt so it will try all combinations automatically? e.g. -m 62XY?

plz help, thx

There isn't an option to try all methods, because -- by design -- it is difficult to confirm which algorithms were used (other than by successfully mounting it or cracking it).

The best you'll be able to do is to try a given attack (a given wordlist, etc.) for each combination:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for tens in 1 2 3 4; do
   for ones in 1 2 3; do
       MYMODE="62${tens}${ones}"
       echo "Trying ${MYMODE}"
       hashcat -m ${MYMODE} [... options ...]
    done
done

Wait, that's not useful. If you do for example 6213, there's no need to do 6211, otherwise the entire system would make no sense.
