Veracrypt cracking
#1
Hello,

My name is Guilherme, I'm in the first post here on the forum. I read several posts and didn't find the answer. I'm trying to crack a veracrypt volume (it's not bootable), but I'm not getting success. Initially I thought I would have to generate the file with the first 512 bytes. Another question I have, if I have to generate the initial 512 bytes of the .vc file, because veracrypt test files only have 292? What actual size do I need to use?

After further reading, I found a post saying that to crack the veracrypt volume, it would be necessary to generate a hash using the veracrypt2hashcat.py script. I did it this way, I generated the hash $veracrypt$xxxxxxxxx..................................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9.

I'm using the rockyou wordlist to crack the password (already knowing the password is inside rockyou), but when I run hashcat it doesn't load the hash generated by veracrypt2hashcat.py.

Another question I have. Do I need to inform the hash in a txt file or indicate a .vc file?

Could someone guide me how to proceed?

I've already created a container and wordlist for testing, I managed to break the password, but when I use the file I need to break, I'm not able to.

Thanks.
