Error after less than 10 tries

[xvovx]

Pulled a drive that I had set aside sometime in 2014 after seemingly have forgotten the luks password. Started dabbling with this script using all numbers as well as all possible special characters on a US keyboard and felt like the script was hanging as it created a new line with just ">".

So I decided to do something short which I knew would not work and then received these errors.

I also tried the method of copying the Luks header with dd and had the same results

Could you try with the last version (1.3.0) to see if it gives a more detailed error message?

[xvovx]

Tried with 2,4, and 6 threads out of 8 with the same result.

Here is the header I am working with as well luks-header.tar.gz

I tried on my system with your LUKS header, and the program doesn't stop after a few attempts.

What is the version of the cryptsetup library on your machine?

[xvovx]

1.7.3

[xvovx]

Well, I reinstalled a few things which I probably did not need to do, and then started removing options one by one until finally I removed the threads option completely...

And it seems to work now, but kind of defeats the hope of running this faster as there are 8 cores in the Exynos5422 chip in my Odroid xu4 that I was hoping to leave dedicated to this task.

However, another issue I am running into is that including special character sets is returning errors. There is a very good possibility that I will need to run all numbers and special charecters available on a US keyboard. Leaving the entire set in " " I am returned with either a new line " > " or one of a few other errors as it seems bash is trying to take the set as a direct command.

To prevent bash from interpreting '$' or '!' characters, you can use simple quotes around the character set, and if you need the simple quote character in the character set you can put it between double quotes next to the other characters:

bruteforce-luks -s "'"'0123456789$abcd!efgh*/\...' ...
