Simple example how to use libcryptsetup
for password search.
Run: crypt_dict luks|tcrypt <device|image> <dictionary> [cpus]
luks|tcrypt specified device type (LUKS or TrueCrypt)
<device|image> is LUKS or TrueCrypt device or image
<dictionary> is list of passphrases to try
(note trailing EOL is stripped)
cpus - number of processes to start in parallel
Format of dictionary file is simple one password per line,
if first char on line is # it is skipped as comment.
For LUKS, you have it run as root (device-mapper cannot
create dmcrypt devices as nrmal user. Code need
to map keyslots as temporary dmcrypt device.)
For TrueCrypt devices root privilege is not required.
