    Hello,

    Thanks for developing it!

    It seems the repositories are empty?

    I have four questions regarding DcsFV:
    1. If the password contains < or > how to input them while avoiding a config file error? Should they be HTML escaped as &lt; &gt; ?
    2. The config says "hash name or ID". What are the hash names besides SHA-256? I mean I know the algorithms but maybe casing matters? Or what are the indexes of each method?
    3. When TcMode is set to 1, is that how one also checks for Veracrypt headers?
    4. What is Region Size?

    Edit: For 2 I guess I forgot it explicitly says "case sensitive". Anyway this appears to be the order they're in in Veracrypt at least - not sure about Truecrypt - so maybe these are the indexes now 0 is "check all":
    1: SHA-512
    2: Whirlpool
    3: SHA-256
    4: RIPEMD-160
    5: STREEBOG

    Btw. the sample config seems to have this error which was seemingly ignored:
    <Boot>0</Hash>

    I forgot my BIOS password a long time ago and recently in the last few momths I noticed when shutting down my laptop i see a message about, failed to connect to TMP or something like that, I found out its a setting in Bios and I need to turn it on or even update Bios but I ncan't get in it now , would this help me reset my Bios password or get me past the it? I have a couple other things Im trying first first but I just thought I would ask while i was here. oh almost forgot, im running the latest Ubunto, on an HP Probook, if that helps to know. I was trying to use, cmospwd exe & several times it appeared like it worked the way it should but Bios still wont let me in, so Im not doing something right, & i havent tried Kali linux live usb yet but maybe I can change the setting or password from there somehow I dont know yet.

    No, it would not help with BIOS password.
    Maybe opening the computers case and temporarily removing the CMOS battery would.
    Solutions to that are not Linux-specific. It should be fairly easily to find guides on how to do that.
