I have a Truecrypt container that has 30 characters in the password, I know what the first 13 are and I know what the last 11 are. I got an idea of what the six in the middle are but don't know for sure. How do I make it search only for the unknown characters? I got a pretty good idea of what they are but my attempts at guessing them have failed so far.
Is there a frontend that would make this easier?
Thanks

I know that the fist character is either a B or a b
second U or u or V or v
...so on.

Does not compute. Websearch says that "TrueCrypt" is something that you don't want to forget the password of. If so, it would be surprising that such thing would provide a "search". Perhaps my Search-Fu is weak and you should explain what the "setting up command" entails?

Code:
for H in f{oo,u}{c,b}ar ; do echo ${H} ; done

I am talking about using masks for the known values and having it brute force the rest

I would write a script to generate every possible combination by looped concatenation even though a command would do the same thing. Have it output to a file named wordlist.txt
Then
Code:
truecrack -t /path/to/tcvolume -w /path/to/wordlist.txt
that should do it.
