Breaking VeraCrypt containers
VeraCrypt is a de-facto successor to TrueCrypt, one of the most popular cryptographic tools for full-disk encryption of internal and external storage devices. VeraCrypt employs a newer and more secure format for encrypted containers and significantly expands the number of supported encryption algorithms and hash functions. Learn how to break VeraCrypt containers with distributed password attacks.
VeraCrypt Encryption
Full-disk encryption tools employ one-way hash functions to protect the binary data encryption key with the password. When attacking an encrypted container, the expert must either know the exact combination of the cipher and hash function or try all of their possible combinations. If the expert makes the wrong choice of a hash function or cipher, the data will not be decrypted even if the correct password is known.

Breaking LastPass: Instant Unlock of the Password Vault
Password managers such as LastPass are designed from the ground up to withstand brute-force attacks on the password database. Using encryption and thousands of hash iterations, the protection is made to slow down access to the encrypted vault that contains all of the userโs stored passwords. In this article, weโll demonstrate how to unlock LastPass password vault instantly without running a length attack.

How to Unlock Windows Systems with a Bootable Flash Drive
Accessing a locked system is always a challenge. While you might be tempted to pull the plug and image the disk, you could miss a lot of valuable evidence if you do. Full-disk encryption, EFS-encrypted files and folders and everything protected with DPAPI (including the passwords stored in most modern Web browsers) are just a few obstacles to mention. Recovering the original Windows logon is a must to access the full set of data, while resetting the logon password may help unlock working accounts in emergencies.

NAS Forensics: QNAP Encryption Analysis
A year ago, we analyzed the encryption used in Synology NAS devices. We were somewhat disappointed by the companyโs choice to rely on a single encryption layer with multiple functional restrictions and security reservations. Today we are publishing the results of our analysis of data encryption used in QNAP devices. Spoiler: itโs very, very different.
