Description-en: Try to find a password of a LUKS encrypted volume
The program is used to try discovery a password for encrypted LUKS volume used
to security reasons. It works trying decrypt at least one of the key slots by
trying all the possible passwords. It is used in forensics and is especially
useful if you know something about the password (i.e. you forgot a part of your
password but still remember most of it).
.
Because of cryptography complexity, crack the password of a LUKS volume without
knowing anything about it would take way too much time (unless the password is
really short and/or weak).
