we seized an asus mini pc from a suspect of a CP case.  it was rebooted and the brother didnt know his password.    So he running Linux mint and it has zfs encryption.  I was able to image the internal nvme drive and get some stuff.  He had another 4 tb samsung ssd internal and an 14 tb external hooked up.  He wont provide us with his code.  Anyway to get into this to unlock the drives.

If you are asking how to bypass LUKS encryption, I don't think you are going to get very far.

I was wondering if I could somehow brute force the Linux mint os and maybe then if I plug the drives in thru would become unlocked.  

Something like arsenal imagine mounting
