Just to be on the safe side before I crack into the void: Hashcat recognizes by the hash syntax and the selected hash mode whether the hash is plausible in form or not. Does hashcat recognize this also if it is a section/dump of a Veracrypt encryption or can hashcat not check this (for reasons) and tries to crack it without verifying it? I just want to make sure that I have correctly dumped the section in which the hash is located. Hashcat does not show me an error message when cracking.
Edit: oh, btw, do i need utf8 encoding for my wordlist in order to crack veracrypt related hashes or is a binary file ok? I checked my wordlist like this "file -i wordlist.txt" and get "filtered.txt: application/octet-stream; charset=binary". I want to eleminate all possible mistakes.
