TrueCrack is a brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt volume files. It works on Linux and it is optimized with Nvidia Cuda technology.

It works with cripted volumes with the following algorithms:

  • PBKDF2 (defined in PKCS5 v2.0) based on RIPEMD160 Key derivation function.

  • XTS block cipher mode of operation used for hard disk encryption based on AES.


TrueCrack can work in two different modes of use:
  • Dictionary attack: read the passwords from a file of words (one password for line).

  • Charset attack: generate the passwords from a charset of symbols defined by the user (for example: all possible strings of n characters from the charset "abc" ).
