Security :: Forgot LUKS Password - Possible To Crack With Limited Charset?

May 22, 2011

I've encrypted my root partition with LUKS and cannot remember my password. My main question is this: is it possible to extract the hash (or key; not sure on the correct terminology here) from the LUKS header and run it through a cracker? The hash type is SHA1 and I can remember the characters I used for the password, just not in the correct order (lots of special characters). That being said, given such a small charset, it should be crackable within a reasonable time, correct? Especially if I used a GPU accelerated cracker. What I don't know how to do is go about getting the hash from the LUKS header. Is any of this possible, or am I SOL? Of course, I have physical access to the system so I can boot it into any utilities I may need to.

Ubuntu :: Crack A Password On A Pdf?

Aug 12, 2010

I'm trying to crack a password on a pdf document. I have been using pdfcrack from the repositories but when I run the command pdfcrack -f filename I get the error: Encryption not detected (is the document password protected?)

I get the same error if I add the -o or -u option. Does anybody know how to do this? Strangely, I can get into the file just by opening it in foxit in Windows, but when I save it elsewhere it is still password protected, so I need the real password. (Can't print to pdf in foxit in Windows)

Ubuntu Security :: Encryption, Luks, "auto"-mount, But Ask For Password?

Feb 14, 2010

I know how to mount it manually. I've seen a howto on how to mount it automatically by loging in with the user, you type your username and password and it mounts your encrypted partition. But that's not what I want. My idea is to call cryptsetup and mount on boot, AND ask me for passphrase like when its loading the system, then if I don't type the right password it shouldn't mount /home, even though i type the correct USER password later when the system is loaded(and then I'd have an empty /home since my home partition wasn't mounted due to wrong passphrase).

This is what I tried: I added the commands to rc.local and I don't even feel like it was executed, no passphrase was asked. As a test if commands there were being executed, I tried simple commands lile mkdir /test and it worked. So commands there are executed, yet, no passphrase was asked to me, I looked on dmesg for crypt and found nothing, I pressed alt+ctrl+F1 desiring to find a passprhase-ask and again, nothing.

Ubuntu Networking :: Using Air-crack To Crack Into Network For Fun?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm using air-crack to crack into my network for fun. (It's WPA, NOT wep)

I've acquired a network handshake (I think, do I run

Code:
sudo airodump-ng --channel 11 --bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 -w data mon0 and capture only four packets for WPA keys?)

After that, I need to run the command aircrack-ng -w wordlist capture_file (where wordlist is your dictionary file, and capture_file is a .cap file with a valid WPA handshake) My wordlist is in /home/steaksauce/Documents/Dictionaries/ and the particular file I want to use as a dictionary is lenth10.txt -- I downloaded a dictionary, and added my own passkey to it so I could have my fun

Fedora :: FC9: Forgot - Partition Doesn't Work - Can't Login At The LUKS Login After Grub Starts

Feb 15, 2010

My computer was working this morning and both hard drives were working fine, then all of a sudden for about two hours I was stuck with this "problem", then after fumbling and moving and stablizing things, then Windows works? See below for details. I've finally reinstalled both hard drives, but the one with the Linux partition doesn't work: it says nothing is discovered on the disk. I can't login at the LUKS login after grub starts, therefore I can't get into Linux, but Windows works?! I used to be able to go directly into Grub when the computer starts, I forgot how to do that but it doesn't matter. If you need details I'd be glad to provide them. I just wondered why Linux doesn't work, but Windows does. I have Linux & Windows on two different separate hard drives

Ubuntu :: Forgot Password To Get Into Ubunut 9

Oct 25, 2010

I read a few pages on how to get my password or reset or whatever and the pages don't apply to Ubuntu 9. They seem to describe older versions of Ubuntu and as i haven't done this before i have no idea where to go with it. One site suggested i add a line into an edit page after getting into the recovery mode but i can't see how. I am using a livecd to post right now. I forgot the password because it took forever for me to get my replacement motherboard after frying the previous one.

General :: Updating Ubuntu 10.04 But Forgot Password

Sep 8, 2010

I am trying to use Ubuntu 10.04 update, but have forgotten the password. If I could get the GRUB prompt, I could use a method I picked up somewhere, but where is the GRUB prompt, which I understand is a bootloader? My installation is single installation on a single partition. I press ESC before the Splash Screen, but just get a square bracket and pressing ESC makes no difference, to the continued boot process, except perhaps make it a little slower. I can use the Desktop and the software I use works fine. There is also something about a 'ring' that requires a password, which I also don't know.
