Hello good people



I used to use a usb bootable Knoppix 7.0 with an encrypted knoppix-data.aes for online banking, bitcoin wallet and private docs and passwords, I tried logging in again after over a year but its not the passphrase I thought it was.


I urgently need to verify the password as there is a time limit to do with the issue another issue at hand (I can explain whats going on in a subsequent reply, but I wont lengthen my first post here).

The passphrase is a combination of shorter passwords I have used in the past and I know 100% the first password. I have successfully generated a dictionary text file with 600 combinations of the passphrase but I don't know how to proceed in trying them out automated, hashcat?


If I was to use hashcat I would need the password hash? I've searched but I don't have any idea how to obtain the hash from knoppix-data.aes


I feel pretty silly I thought I knew the password and now time is ticking, I'd really appreciate any advice, thanks.
