.TH BRUTEFORCE-LUKS "1" "Nov 2015" "BRUTEFORCE-LUKS 1.1" "Bruteforce LUKS encrypted volume" | ||
.SH NAME | ||
bruteforce-luks \- try to find the password of a LUKS volume | ||
.SH SYNOPSIS | ||
\fBbruteforce-luks\fP [\fBoptions\fP] <\fIpath to LUKS volume\fP> | ||
.SH 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). | ||
.PP | ||
There are command line options to specify: | ||
.RS | ||
.IP \(bu 2 | ||
the minimum password length to try | ||
.IP \(bu 2 | ||
the maximum password length to try | ||
.IP \(bu 2 | ||
the beginning of the password | ||
.IP \(bu 2 | ||
the end of the password | ||
.IP \(bu 2 | ||
the character set to use (among the characters of the current locale) | ||
.SH OPTIONS | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-b <string> | ||
.nf | ||
Beginning of the password. | ||
.nf | ||
Default: "" | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-e <string> | ||
.nf | ||
End of the password. | ||
.nf | ||
Default: "" | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-f <file> | ||
.nf | ||
Read the passwords from a file instead of generating them. | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-h | ||
.nf | ||
Show help and quit. | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-l <length> | ||
.nf | ||
Minimum password length (beginning and end included). | ||
.nf | ||
Default: 1 | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-m <length> | ||
.nf | ||
Maximum password length (beginning and end included). | ||
.nf | ||
Default: 8 | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-s <string> | ||
.nf | ||
Password character set. | ||
.nf | ||
Default: "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU | ||
VWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" | ||
.TP | ||
.B \-t <n> | ||
.nf | ||
Number of threads to use. | ||
.nf | ||
Default: 1 | ||
.PP | ||
Sending a USR1 signal to a running \fBbruteforce-luks\fP process | ||
makes it print progress info to standard error and continue. | ||
.SH EXAMPLES | ||
Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume using 4 threads, trying | ||
only passwords with 5 characters: | ||
.PP | ||
.nf | ||
.fam C | ||
bruteforce-luks -t 4 -l 5 -m 5 /dev/sdb1 | ||
|
||
|
||
.fam T | ||
.fi | ||
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": | ||
.PP | ||
.nf | ||
.fam C | ||
bruteforce-luks -t 8 -l 5 -m 10 -b "W4l" -e "z" /dev/sda2 | ||
|
||
|
||
.fam T | ||
.fi | ||
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": | ||
.PP | ||
.nf | ||
.fam C | ||
bruteforce-luks -t 8 -l 10 -m 10 -s "P情8ŭ" /dev/sdc3 | ||
|
||

||
.fam T | ||

the passwords contained in a dictionary file: | ||

|
||
|
||
.fam T | ||
