Crack LUKS volume with Hashcat

Install hashcat

apt install hashcat

Find LUKS Volume

bob@localhost:~/$ dmesg
...
[ 1057.776074] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
[ 1057.776074] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00
[ 1057.776593] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

From the above we see that the drive we just pluGged into the system is “sda” so our path and partition is “/dev/sda1”

Run hashcat

The following command will run hashcat against “/dev/sda1”, change if the encrypted partition is different. Mode is to brute force every 8 numeric character combination. Refer to the following link to learn more about mask attacks.

Note: You should be able to dump the header and work off of that as well.

sudo hashcat -a 3 -m 14600 /dev/sda1 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d
