How do I decrypt TrueCrypt volume?

Open TrueCrypt and right click on the partition you want decrypted. In the right click menu, select Permanently Decrypt. You are asked whether you want to permanently decrypt the selected partition/drive. Press Yes.

How do I decrypt a TrueCrypt file?

Copy all data from the drive encrypted by TrueCrypt to the drive encrypted by BitLocker. If you do not have a spare drive, first decrypt the drive encrypted by TrueCrypt. Select the drive in TrueCrypt, open the Volumes menu and select Permanently Decrypt item (available in version 7.2).

Can VeraCrypt read TrueCrypt volumes?

No, you cannot. I have volumes from 3. x encrypted with Whirlpool by a simple password, and Veracrypt will not mount them no matter what, even in TC mode.

Where is my TrueCrypt key file?

Settings -> Default Keyfiles To do so, click Add Path, browse to the drive letter assigned to the USB memory stick, and click OK. Now each time you mount a volume (and if Use keyfiles is checked in the password dialog), TrueCrypt will scan the path and use all files that it finds there as keyfiles.

How do I remove encrypted volume?

You can use the volume delete command to delete an encrypted volume.

How do I unencrypt data?

Right-click the file or folder you want to decrypt, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Advanced. Clear the Encrypt contents to secure data checkbox, and then click OK.

How do I convert TrueCrypt volume to VeraCrypt?

Starting from version 1.0f, TrueCrypt volumes and non-system partitions can be converted to VeraCrypt format using any of the following actions:

  1. Change Volume Password.
  2. Set Header Key Derivation Algorithm.
  3. Add/Remove key files.
  4. Remove all key files.

How do I open a TC file?

How to open file with TC extension?

  1. Download and install TrueCrypt.
  2. Check the version of TrueCrypt and update if needed.
  3. Set the default application to open TC files to TrueCrypt.
  4. Verify that the TC is not faulty.

What TrueCrypt options are available for TrueCrypt investigation via volatility?

TrueCrypt also supports Twofish, Serpent, and combinations thereof (AES-Twofish, AES-Twofish-Serpent). Furthermore, it supports modes other than XTS, such as LWR, CBC, outer CBC, and Inner CBC (though many of the CBCs are either deprecated or not recommended).

What kind of volumes can I use with cryptsetup?

In addition, cryptsetup provides limited support for the use of loop-AES volumes, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt and BitLocker compatible volumes. Unless you understand the cryptographic background well, use LUKS.

How big is the header in TrueCrypt 6.0?

TrueCrypt header is always of length 512 bytes (one sector). Since TrueCrypt version 6.0 the reserved area for header was increased to 128kB but remaining space is used only to properly align data area for disks with larger block sizes. Cryptsetup reads only these 512 bytes ignoring remaining space.

What is the logical sector size of TrueCrypt?

cryptsetup expects the sector size to be 512, but in your case it seems to be 4096, since that is what truecrypt does for devices with physical/logical sector size of 4096. This information is stored in the TrueCrypt header, you can also see it with cryptsetup tcryptDump. The Linux version of truecrypt mounts such containers fine like so:

Is the header of cryptsetup vulnerable to damage?

On the other hand, the header is visible and vulnerable to damage. In addition, cryptsetup provides limited support for the use of loop-AES volumes, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt and BitLocker compatible volumes.
