### Cyclone's Container Truncator

- 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

### Install latest release:

```

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

```

### Install from latest source code (bleeding edge):

```

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:
