I've been trying to crack Veracrypt password for logical volume (full disk encryption) using hashcat, but with no success. My wordlists don't fit, but definitely I do everything correctly because I've cracked hash with old password from old rescue disk.
My question is: if I use dd command on linux to overwrite hash on disk using hash file from old rescue disk, will I be able to use old password? I've read it's possible to restore old headers for all kinds of encrypted volumes except logical volume (when trying to restore, old rescue disk says "Invalid parameter").
I mean, is restoring old header for logical volume from old rescue disk just blocked to prevent doing so from rescue disk, or it's blocked because old header won't work anyway?
If won't work, could you please explain me why?
