Hashcat cannot find my own password (password kwown) on TrueCrypt 7.1a file volume

Hello there

I looked around that forum but didn't find my answer.

I try to use Hashcat to run some tests and attacks on differents files (TrueCrypt / RAR / ZIP / 7z)

After all, I would to manage with the rights commands, and finally tried my own test.

I created my own encrypted file with TrueCrypt 7.1, with an easy password.

The password I used is : "easy1234"

Could you believe that even with the command with the right password, Hashcat cannot recovery the password and stays at Exhausted status ?

I tried everything :


./hashcat -m 6211 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6212 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6213 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6221 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6222 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6223 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6231 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6232 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6233 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6241 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6242 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234
./hashcat -m 6243 easy.tc -a 3 easy1234

Running Hashcat v4.0.1-78-g185104b on Mac OS X (Sierra)


I am thinking maybe Iam wrong on the hash selection, but for me Hashcat isn't able to recovery a kwown-password.

I confirm when I open the file with the real TrueCrypt software I can open it with the right password.

Does anyone already managed with old TrueCrypt files ? any help about that

Thank you very much
