Cyclone's Container Truncater

• Tool to truncate BestCrypt / Truecrypt / Veracrypt container files
• Tested on debian linux & Windows 11
• Run tool in directory where BestCrypt *.jbc, Truecrypt *.tc or Veracrypt *.vc container file is located
• Once file is selected from menu, tool will truncate container and save a new file to "truncate_filename"
• "truncate_filename" can now be ran with hashcat using the appropriate mode (for tc/vc containers)
  • example: ./container_truncator.bin
  • 1 ) truecrypt.tc
  • outputs new file "truncate_truecrypt.tc"
  • hashcat -m 6211 -a 0 truncate_truecrypt.tc cyclone_hk_v2.txt -r cyclone_250.rule
• Tool will not overwrite any existing files

go install github.com/cyclone-github/container_truncator@main

Compile from source:

• If you want the latest features, compiling from source is the best option since the release version may run several revisions behind the source code.
• This assumes you have Go and Git installed
  • git clone https://github.com/cyclone-github/container_truncator.git # clone repo
  • cd container_truncator # enter project directory
  • go mod init container_truncator # initialize Go module (skips if go.mod exists)
  • go mod tidy # download dependencies
  • go build -ldflags="-s -w" . # compile binary in current directory
  • go install -ldflags="-s -w" . # compile binary and install to $GOPATH
• Compile from source code how-to:
