VeraCrypt Brute-force cracker

This is a very simple file that will help you recover a forgotten password for your VeraCrypt encrypted file. it works on windows only (I'm sure that with a some basic Bash knowladge you can translate it to linux too)

Instructions:

1. Put both above files in VeraCrypt folder
2. Fill up the word.list with optional passwords (you can generate it if there are too many)
3. Edit VcCrack.cmd: a. Make sure that Drive Q: isn't mounted already (or change the Q in lines 4,6,7 to a different drive) b. replace the {{full path to the encrypted file}} with the relevant full path
4. run this command (in elevated command prompt): VcCrack.cmd >brute.log
5. Go to do some stuff - the results will be in the log file when we finish trying all the options (about 5 seconds for an option - depends on the machine)

Example for output brute.log:

---[new check]---
TRY=123456789
Wrong password...
---[new check]---
TRY=foobar123456
PasswordWorks!!! 
---[new check]---
TRY=abcdabcd
PasswordWorks!!! 
---[new check]---
TRY=password6
Wrong password...
---[Done]---

VcCrack.cmd

@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (word.list) do (
  echo ---[new check]---
  veracrypt /v {{full path to the encrypted file}} /l Q /a /p %%a /e /b /q /s
  echo Tring password:%%a
  if exist Q:\ ( echo PasswordWorks!!! ) else ( echo Wrong password...)
  veracrypt /d Q /s /q
)
 echo ---[Done]---
