In this video we'll take a look at brute-forcing VeraCrypt's standard encryption mode using hashcat to get the job done.

I caught myself thinking: how long would it actually take to brute-force specific password masks? That’s when I decided to put it to the test using Hashcat and an operating system equipped with a graphics card.
