The program is used to try discovery a password for encrypted LUKS volume used to security reasons. It works trying decrypt at least one of the key slots by trying all the possible passwords. It is used in forensics and is especially useful if you know something about the password (i.e. you forgot a part of your password but still remember most of it). Because of cryptography complexity, crack the password of a LUKS volume without knowing anything about it would take way too much time (unless the password is really short and/or weak).

bruteforce-luks
Try to find the password of a LUKS volume
root@kali:~# bruteforce-luks --help
bruteforce-luks 1.4.0
Usage: bruteforce-luks [options] <path to LUKS volume>
Options:
-b <string> Beginning of the password.
default: ""
-e <string> End of the password.
default: ""
-f <file> Read the passwords from a file instead of generating them.
-h Show help and quit.
-l <length> Minimum password length (beginning and end included).
default: 1
-m <length> Maximum password length (beginning and end included).
default: 8
-s <string> Password character set.
default: "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU
VWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
-t <n> Number of threads to use.
default: 1
-v <n> Print progress info every n seconds.
-w <file> Restore the state of a previous session if the file exists,
then write the state to the file regularly (~ every minute).
Sending a USR1 signal to a running bruteforce-luks process
makes it print progress info to standard error and continue.
Error: unknown option: '-'.
