Greetings,
I'm working on a standard TrueCrypt container and managed to extract the header (and header hashes) with:
dd if=container of=container.hash bs=512 count=1
That's the 1st 512 bytes and the extracted "hash" i.e. header file works just fine with the known password of a container I test it with (same result as with the container).
Now I would like to do the same with the backup header, it seems from forums it is subposed to be at the last 512 bytes of the container but this does not bear fruit.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with this and knows the exact location of the backup header for a default setting TrueCrupt container?
Many thanks!
Martin
