I've been trying to decrypt on Ubuntu using Veracrypt and not having any luck. I have verified the 911_Archive.zip hash I have is correct.... I'm wondering if some how I'm not specifying Layer1? ... I mean I've already downloaded the decrypted payload but as a CS grad this is really bothering me lol

You're trying to mount the wrong file - unpack the zip file, load the Layer_1.container contained in the zip file into VeraCrypt, and it should work then ;)

layer_1.container in the zip file? I try to unzip the file and it shows as corrupt?

What command and what error
