-### Cyclone's Truecrypt / Veracrypt Container Truncater
-- Tool to process Truecrypt / Veracrypt container files to be ran with hashcat
+### Cyclone's Container Truncater
+- Tool to truncate BestCrypt / Truecrypt / Veracrypt container files
 - Tested on debian linux & Windows 11
-- Run tool in directory where Truecrypt *.tc or Veracrypt *.vc container file is located
+- Run tool in directory where BestCrypt *.jbc, Truecrypt *.tc or Veracrypt *.vc container file is located
 - Once file is selected from menu, tool will truncate container and save a new file to "truncate_filename"
-- "truncate_filename" can now be ran with hashcat using the appropriate mode
-  - example: ./veracrypt_container_truncator.bin
+- "truncate_filename" can now be ran with hashcat using the appropriate mode (for tc/vc containers)
+  - example: ./container_truncator.bin
   - 1 ) truecrypt.tc
   - outputs new file "truncate_truecrypt.tc"
