Do you know their position (missing chars at the end, at the beginning, can be everywhere, ...) ?
Can you limit the characters to a specific set of characters (charset), i.e. do you know if they are all numbers, lower letters etc?
The password is 14 or 15 characters long. The first 12 characters are numerics that I know. The rest are letters and probably a symbol; furthermore, I have no idea what these characters are (and I also don't know whether the letters are lowercase or capital).
As for cracking methods, I could not understand the instructions for extracting the hashes from TrueCrypt volumes. I have no idea how to extract the first 512 bytes of the encrypted file. Plus, I'm currently on Windows and have not ever used Hashcat before. Is there any tutorial out there for this process?
Just as you suggested, a mask attack with custom charsets will serve the best for this purpose, but again, I do not know how to perform that (though it is not my main concern right now).
As we decided upon the methods, I believe I need practical instructions.
