Cracking using John The Ripperįor example, when using John The Ripper (Jumbo version!), you need to prepare the data for cracking by using luks2john helper python script available from the run directory of John The Ripper: If you’re lucky enough that you need to recover passphrase from some older LUKS encryption, you can use both tools. Both Hashcat and John the Ripper support password cracking of LUKS passphrases, but they are both limited to what cipher/hashing/LUKS they support. But, if you have a tougher job and you need to guess the password faster, as you have many more candidate passwords to try, it is time to look for faster options. Faster crackingīasic cracking works if you have few candidate passwords to try. You also have to inspect the output of the commands manually in order to check that password was cracked. The main problem here is that such cracking is pretty slow, as you have to spawn cryptsetup for each test of the candidate password. $ hashcat -m 0 -stdout -a 3 ?a?a?a?a | xargs -t -P ` nproc ` -i echo | cryptsetup -test-passphrase open sdb3-to-crack sdb3_crypt One of the most easiest one is to use blkid: There are different ways to identify LUKS. Recovering the passphrase of such an encryption depends on format, cipher and key size, mode used and the strength of the passphrase that you are recovering. So, basically having a passphrase is the same as having the master key and attacking the passphrases, in most cases, is the most viable option. Once you have a valid passphrase for any of the key slot, it is possible to dump the master key. In this text, we will focus on cracking the passphrases behind key slots and not attacking the master key itself as that would require much more resources if the master key is generated properly. If somebody has access to the master key, that somebody can decrypt the data without knowing any passphrase. When you setup the passphrase for the encryption, you are actually changing the passphrase for the slot and you’re not changing the master key itself as that would require reencrypting the whole partition. Any key slot is able to unlock the partition if it is enabled and it is also able to dump the master key. The way the LUKS works is that you have a master key which is generated for encryption and there are 8 key slots which are guarding the master key. Android encryption is also using LUKS for device encryption option. If you are using any popular Linux distribution and you’re using encrypted partitions, there is a high chance that it is using LUKS1. LUKS1: aes-xts-plain64, Key: 256 bits, LUKS header hashing: sha256, RNG: /dev/urandom Plain: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256, Key: 256 bits, Password hashing: ripemd160 Iteration time: 2000, Memory required: 1048576kB, Parallel threads: 4ĭefault compiled-in device cipher parameters: Maximum keyfile size: 8192kB, Maximum interactive passphrase length 512 (characters)ĭefault PBKDF2 iteration time for LUKS: 2000 (ms) Here are usual compiled-in defaults of cryptsetup:ĭefault compiled-in key and passphrase parameters: It is a less known fact that cryptsetup supports TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt as well. There are many formats or types which dm-crypt/cryptsetup support (current version supports luks, luks1, luks2, plain, loopaes, tcrypt), but the most commons ones are LUKS1 and LUKS2, where LUKS2 is an obviously newer format, which uses argon2i by default. It appears as a block device, which can be used to back file systems, swap or as an LVM physical volume. It can thus encrypt whole disks (including removable media), partitions, software RAID volumes, logical volumes, as well as files. It is implemented as a device mapper target and may be stacked on top of other device mapper transformations. What are the options in case you need to recover passphrase from such encryption? There are already ready-made tools, but we have also produced and published our own in order to support newer LUKS format/ciphers/hashing.ĭm-crypt is a transparent disk encryption subsystem in the Linux kernel. Linux uses dm-crypt in order to provide transparent disk or partition encryption.
