I'm having a issue with a Time Machine backup made on an external USB drive. The TM backup is encrypted and I can't remember the password … Does anybody know a tool to brute force the password ? (I remember the password is about 10 characters and alphanumeric (except for a "!" somewhere).

I'm running Mavericks.

    What would be the purpose of strong password if it can be cracked. Giving that kind information here would be wrong. – Ruskes Apr 11 '14 at 22:13
  • Anybody willing to do some calculations here on how long it would take to brute force a 10 digit alphanumeric password, including the time it takes to try each combination against the drive? – nohillside♦ Apr 14 '14 at 14:28

Have a look at libfvde. It doesn't explicitly say it supports Mavericks, but might be worth a try.

    Please include some details, a one-liner does not have much details and the URL might die. – Rob Apr 14 '14 at 9:04
  • I tried to clone the source repo, but it's empty :-/ Edit: I didn't see the download link when I checked, I'll try this one tonight. – Marcio Apr 14 '14 at 10:30
