I was receiving a "No hashes loaded." error, I had to convert the *.txt file to UTF-8 format and now everything seams to be working fine. Hashcat is working now
Yes, your use of verscrypt2hashcat is correct if it's an encrypted container and not a bootable partition.
Your hashcat command also looks good, although I don't understand why you use -n 1....
That is used for fine tuning which hashcat does automagically and setting to 1 would give a negative impact on hashcat performance.
Hi, thank you for the reply (and I'm sorry for my late one). That "-n 1" was suggested to me by chatgpt when I asked help for the right command...but obviously it is not necessary. Thank you for your help
