I'll try to decrypt a forgotten password, and i only don't know the last 3 up to 5 letters. BUT i have the ">" Symbol in my known part of the Password so i use the parameter bruteforce-luks -b this.is-my>Pass [...] But in this case he is reacting with the > Symbol and create a file with the Name "Pass" and begins to decrypt the password "this.is-my". I have also try to use this: bruteforce-luks -b "this.is-my>Pass" [...] but then he start to decrypt with the " in the name of the knowing password. Is that my failure because i didn't know to use this character symbol or is that a bug?

I tried bruteforce-luks -b "this.is-my>Pass" ... and bruteforce-luks -b 'this.is-my>Pass' ... and it worked fine in both cases. What shell are you using? (I'm using bash).

Ok, maybe i have make an Misstake. I have startet it directly in the konsole (tty2). Without the "" it wont work, but with them it works. Maybe i have tried 2 different (' and "). Thanks for your help.
