1. WHAT TrueCrack IS?
TrueCrack is a brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt (Copyrigth) volumes. It works on Linux and it is optimized for Nvidia Cuda technology.
It supports:
- PBKDF2 (defined in PKCS5 v2.0) based on key derivation functions: Ripemd160, Sha512 and Whirlpool.
- XTS block cipher mode for hard disk encryption based on encryption algorithms: AES, SERPENT, TWOFISH.
- File-hosted (container) and Partition/device-hosted.
- Hidden volumes and Backup headers. 
TrueCrack is able to perform a brute-force attack based on:
- Dictionary: read the passwords from a file of words.
- Alphabet: generate all passwords of given length from given alphabet. 
TrueCrack works on gpu and cpu. TrueCrack requires a lots of resources: we suggest a dedicated gpu board.

2. HOW TO RUN?
Dictionary attack:
	truecrack -t truecrypt_file -w passwords_file [-k ripemd160 | -k sha512 | -k whirlpool] [-e aes | -e serpent | -e twofish] [-a blocks] [-b] [-H] [-r number]
Alphabet attack:
	truecrack -t truecrypt_file -c alphabet [-s minlength] -m maxlength [-p string] [-k ripemd160 | -k sha512 | -k whirlpool] [-e aes | -e serpent | -e twofish] [-a blocks] [-b] [-H] [-r number]

3. HOW TO USAGE?
-h 	--help 					Display this information.
-t 	--truecrypt <truecrypt_file> 		Truecrypt volume file.
-k 	--key <ripemd160 | sha512 | whirlpool>	Key derivation function (default ripemd160).
-e 	--encryption <aes | serpent | twofish>	Encryption algorithm (default aes).
-a 	--aggressive <blocks>			Number of parallel computations (board dependent).
-w 	--wordlist <wordlist_file> 		File of words, for Dictionary attack.
-c 	--charset <alphabet>			Alphabet generator, for Alphabet attack.
-m 	--maxlength <maxlength>			Maximum length of passwords, for Alphabet attack.
-s	--startlength <minlength>       	Starting length of passwords, for Alphabet attack (default 1).
-p	--prefix <string>			Prefix the first part of the password, for Alphabet attack.
-r	--restore <number>              	Restore the computation.
-b	--backup 				Backup header instead of volume header.
-H	--hidden				Hidden Truecrypt volume.
-v 	--verbose 				Show verbose messages.

4. HOW TO CONFIGURE?
./configure
	--enable-debug : enable nVidia CUDA debug mode [default=no]
	--enable-cpu : disable cuda nvidia GPU and use CPU [default=no]
	--with-cuda=PATH : prefix where cuda is installed [default=auto]

5. HOW TO INSTALL?
cd truecrack
./configure
make
sudo make install
