Adds a silent VeraCrypt password and PIM input mode. Create an empty /ventoy/ventoy_vhdboot.silent file next to /ventoy/ventoy_vhdboot.img on the Ventoy data partition to suppress all text, input feedback, and the cursor produced by the bridge. Remove the marker to restore the normal interface.
The bridge checks the marker on UEFI file systems and reads NTFS metadata through UEFI Block I/O when Ventoy's NTFS partition is not exposed as a UEFI file system. Authentication and boot handoff are unchanged.
Tested with Ventoy 1.1.17 in an x64 UEFI VirtualBox VM: a VeraCrypt-encrypted Windows 10 VHD booted to the desktop in silent mode; removing the marker restored the visible password prompt. The marker hides only the bridge's output. Ventoy, Windows, and firmware messages remain outside its control. Unusual NTFS metadata layouts may leave the visible interface enabled; test on the target drive before relying on the marker.
Install ventoy_vhdboot_encrypted.img as /ventoy/ventoy_vhdboot.img. Keep a backup of the original Ventoy image. Secure Boot remains unsupported. This experimental pre-boot software has not received an independent security audit.
