What’s good y’all?

In this episode we’ll take a look at brute-forcing a VeraCrypt container using Hashcat.

For starters I want to say that I’m a huge VeraCrypt fan and use it all the time, for a long time. Long enough to remember when it was, originally, called TrueCrypt before the project was abandoned.

I caught myself thinking: how long would it actually take to brute-force specific password masks? That’s when I decided to put it to the test using Hashcat and an operating system equipped with a graphics card.

Let’s find out! 🙂
