Cannot Recall the Last 3 Characters of My VeraCrypt Password [HELP]
#6
The next step is to define the mask.

According to the wiki page, ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a means the password is 15 characters long. However, I could not find what to do if I already know a part of the password.

EDIT: Got it from a tutorial video. I need to do xxxxxxxxxxxx?a?a?a (x is the order-specific variable stating the characters that I know). So there is only one element left to consider: -m YYYYY. I have no idea what to type in there.

EDIT2: I found it from the example hashes table in the Wiki. I used the default settings when encrypting the file, which is VeraCrypt PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 + AES, so the hash-mode is 13721

The file that contains the extracted hashes is called hases.tc and located in ~Desktop\ddump.

Thus, the final code that I need to run is as follows (though I'll need to replace the variables with corresponding numbers);

Code:
hashcat -a 3 -m 13721 C:\Users\Hyper\Desktop\ddump\hashes.tc xxxxxxxxxxxx?a?a?a
