correct command line

[iiidefconiii]

That's not a contradiction.

Both statements are true:
1. 3 dashes are 1 too much
2. 1 dash is 1 dash missing

The only correct number of minus symbols (dashes) before the name of the (long) argument is 2.
Just have a look at the --help output.

It clearly says that the command line parameter is --veracrypt-pim followed by the number
e.g. --veracrypt-pim 2406

mm sry never seen that third dash my bad
Im think im almost there, i have one more question do:

So to create the raw file the command is? (using ddrelease on windows)
ddrelease64.exe if=hash.raw of=MyEncrpytionP1.hc bs=512 count=1?


Or should it be the other way around?
ddrelease64.exe if=MyEncrpytionP1.hc of=hash.raw bs=512 count=1?


And i create a file called hash.raw?



and finally:
hashcat64.exe -m 13721 -a 0 -w 4 --veracrypt-pim 2406 -o hit.txt hash.raw dict.txt
