r/VeraCrypt

Is a wordlist attack on a full disc encryption possible?

The full question is above.

Is it possible without third-party providers like cellebrite or other big companies that are only available to agencies i.e. the government?

What would be the easiest way to get through a list of hundreds or thousands of passwords, e.g. 1000 ?

Manual testing all the way and hoping for the best?

OTG Master v0.4.0 is live! LUKS, ext4 & Read-Only support + bug fixes

Hey everyone,

A while back, I reached out to this community for beta testers for OTG Master—an android app that lets you mount VeraCrypt USB drives directly on Android without root. Thanks to those who volunteered, the app is live now!

After the initial release, I actually parked the app for a bit to see if it would cross 100 downloads before deciding to sink more effort into it. Since it did, I went out and procured a bunch of test USBs, heavily expanded the test suite, and ironed out the bugs that were discovered.

v0.4.0 is now live and brings some major updates:

• LUKS1 & LUKS2 Support: You can now mount LUKS encrypted volumes right alongside VeraCrypt. • ext4 Support: Expanded file system compatibility to fully support reading and writing to ext4 partitions. • Dedicated Read-Only Mode: You can now mount your drives in a strict read-only mode to completely prevent accidental write corruptions. • Major Bug Fixes: Lots of under-the-hood stability improvements based on testing.

You can grab the update here:

• Google Play
• F-Droid

Privacy First: Just a quick reminder: this project was built with a strict focus on privacy. It is completely open source, has zero ads, no spam, and absolutely zero analytics or tracking. The app runs entirely offline (it doesn't even request network permissions), so your keys never leave your device. The code is 100% public and auditable on GitHub.

What's Next? (v0.4.1 expected ~Oct 18): I'm currently working on the next big update which will bring support for NTFS and APFS (encrypted, unencrypted, case-sensitive, and case-insensitive) drives, as well as NTFS + BitLocker support!
