I am desperately trying to recover a veracrypt password with hashcat.

I got the hash file of the encrypted device with dd command and then used the sha512sum command to get the hash so it should be :

c21cd34530e01d4f31f329a9c53643984894e1411ee6400551d7f614d4e3409ec643e3a0c3684238b9656c2793239666aa907f7739055197b094804679026810

I remember a part of the password so I guessed a mask attack with hashcat should be helpful. But I keep getting "separator unmatched"

I typed the following command :

hashcat --force -m 1800 -a 3 -i --increment-min 20 --increment-max 21 c21cd34530e01d4f31f329a9c53643984894e1411ee6400551d7f614d4e3409ec643e3a0c3684238b9656c2793239666aa907f7739055197b094804679026810 ?u?1?1?s?u?1?1?s?d?d?d?d?s?l?l

Hash 'c21cd34530e01d4f31f329a9c53643984894e1411ee6400551d7f614d4e3409ec643e3a0c3684238b9656c2793239666aa907f7739055197b094804679026810': Separator unmatched
No hashes loaded.

I do not understand my mistake, the mask is after the hash however.

  • Might have an extra newline or whitespace in the hash? See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64891621/hashcat-doesnt-recover-passwords-though-they-are-present-in-the-dict/64898529#comment114746654_64898529 – Andrew Zick Dec 09 '22 at 23:55
