I've uploaded a few more samples to the wiki:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/sample-non-hashes?&#TrueCrypt-Volumes
(TrueCrypt-examples.7z)
I created two "normal" and two volumes with a normal and a hidden
volume in them. I tried to vary the algorithms used in each so that
there were good test cases. I did not try to crack them, they all use
at least one key file, some of them use three keyfiles + password. Let
me know if there are any questions about these latest samples, or if
more are desired. Inside the archive is a README with everything that
was used when creating them, I hope it helps!
