Description

I am desperate to break the password of my backup. I encoded the CD image and recorded it. Unfortunately, I can not remember the password for anything, but I remember what could be the string of letters.
Is possible to make program for cracking cascaded encryption diskcryptor?

This program has a very good feature - you can encrypt ISO (Aes-Twofish-Serpent) and burn it into CD, and then u can mount it in program. It is very similar to Truecrypt

Research direction

The request describes cracking a DiskCryptor ISO encrypted with cascaded AES-Twofish-Serpent, but names no source files, tests, or entry points. First establish whether the format and required attack are supported; done would require an agreed implementation scope and validation, neither of which the issue specifies.
