PROGRAM:
NAME
bruteforce-luks - try to find the password of a LUKS volume
SYNOPSIS
bruteforce-luks [options] <path to LUKS volume>
DESCRIPTION
The program tries to decrypt at least one of the key slots by trying all the possible
passwords. It is especially useful if you know something about the password (i.e. you
forgot a part of your password but still remember most of it). Finding the password of a
volume without knowing anything about it would take way too much time (unless the password
is really short and/or weak).
There are command line options to specify:
· the minimum password length to try
· the maximum password length to try
· the beginning of the password
· the end of the password
· the character set to use (among the characters of the current locale)
OPTIONS
-b <string>
Beginning of the password.
Default: ""
-e <string>
End of the password.
Default: ""
-f <file>
Read the passwords from a file instead of generating them.
-h
Show help and quit.
-l <length>
Minimum password length (beginning and end included).
Default: 1
-m <length>
Maximum password length (beginning and end included).
Default: 8
-s <string>
Password character set.
Default: "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU
VWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
-t <n>
Number of threads to use.
Default: 1
Sending a USR1 signal to a running bruteforce-luks process
makes it print progress info to standard error and continue.
EXAMPLES
Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume using 4 threads, trying only passwords
with 5 characters:
bruteforce-luks -t 4 -l 5 -m 5 /dev/sdb1
Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume using 8 threads, trying only passwords
with 5 to 10 characters beginning with "W4l" and ending with "z":
bruteforce-luks -t 8 -l 5 -m 10 -b "W4l" -e "z" /dev/sda2
Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume using 8 threads, trying only passwords
with 10 characters using the character set "P情8ŭ":
bruteforce-luks -t 8 -l 10 -m 10 -s "P情8ŭ" /dev/sdc3
Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume using 6 threads, trying the passwords
contained in a dictionary file:
bruteforce-luks -t 6 -f dictionary.txt /dev/sdd1
Print progress info:
pkill -USR1 -f bruteforce-luks
