How to: Crack Bitlocker encrypted drives

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
  • UPDATE: Because of the requirement of TPM 2.0 in Windows 11, this method no longer works. On older Windows 10 systems that are not using TPM it will still work as described.
    NOTE: This is a very long process, and may not always be successful. There are people who crack hashes for money, I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. Do not contact me to crack "your" hash.
    This is for educational purposes only and is only to be used on computers that you own or have permission to test.
    In this video we go through the steps of creating a Bitlocker drive, imaging it, turning the image into a crackable hash and then cracking that hash with Hashcat.

    so I'm stuck right in the beginning basically, when i run that first command from the jumbo john "run" folder i get "Unknown option: "-i"" so out of curiosity I've tried running it without that option not expecting much so these following errors might not mean much " detected hash type "HMAC-SHA256", but the string is also recognized as "HMAC-SHA512"
    Use the "--format=HMAC-SHA512" option to force loading these as that type instead
    oracle: Input file is not UTF-8. Please use --input-enc to specify a codepage.
    Error: UTF-16 BOM seen in input file."
    I've used the suggested parameters here too and received this output:

    I've had a rapid influx of people coming into my tech repair store because the Windows 22H2 update has been bricking systems left and right and unfortunately many of these people don't even know what bitlocker is, why it was enabled, and don't have their key.

    • @PentestsandTech
      @PentestsandTech  8 місяців тому

      The majority of people don’t worry about their bitlocker recovery key being subpoenaed by law enforcement. Also someone would need to hack your Microsoft account, bypass your MFA, and then also gain physical access to your computer. Which i think would be very likely.

    • @PentestsandTech
      @PentestsandTech  8 місяців тому

      Mostly for people who just want a little extra physical security, but also have data that they cannot afford to lose if they forget their encryption key. Also if your recovery key gets stolen, you can always change it, and there is nothing an attacker can do remotely with your recovery key.

My ssd is bitlocker-locked out with lots of my data on it. I have windows logon screen without admin/user password. I don't have any recovery key or password. my account is locked out. I spent 3-days; went through all steps as you explained; my disk image is ready; I extracted hash keys with jumbojohn; ran hashcat with dictionary attack; nogo, it says exhausted and does not recovered any password. JmboJohn hashed the keys: and it says Bitlocker with TPM. I need to crack 48-numbers Recover-Key., which is only possible applying "BruteForce" full random. However I don't know how to compose command for brute force using "jumbojohn" or hashcat. please help...

    quick question, since this is specific to bitlocker can i still use these tools for other types of brute forcing?

    HI, Have a ASUS tablet with soldered HD so cant connect to other computer to erase drive. All boot USB attempts keep triggering Bitlocker. So i want to erase drive and install Win 8 but how can i do this? Can i use command prompt in recovery blue screen F8 area or will i still need key. As you explained, will erasing drive totally still leave Key with TPM and still lock me out?

      You’re gonna need to get usb boot to work, in the bios you should be able to set usb to boot before windows. Either use a Linux usb or the windows installer usb. Both will let you wipe the hard drive.

    I have a client that had lightning hit their house. Computer fried. Drive seems to have survived because it pops up asking for the bitlocker password when I try to access. Big surprise, client has no idea what that is... and it is not in their Microsoft account. So here's my question: From my research, it's my understanding that this sort of password recovery is dependent upon the bitlockered drive being created on the same computer you are doing the recovery on. Meaning, removing a bitlockered drive from a dead computer, installing it in my computer, and then running these types of methods won't work because you're pulling the password from information in the working computer right? Thoughts?

    I have an external hdd that automatically encrypted when I plugged it into my dell xps (this is a known problem with the xps). Somehow Dell installed bitlocker on windows 10 home which means I couldn't really do anything in the program because it doesn't run on windows 10. Absolute nightmare. Anyways, I never set a password for the drive because I didn't even know it was encrypted until half a year later. Would it be better to try and find the recovery key or the password (I'm not sure a password even exists though since I never set one)?

    • @PentestsandTech
      @PentestsandTech  3 роки тому +1

      The best option would be to try to contact dell, they probably have some idea of what to do. Cracking a password you don’t know exists, and or cracking a 48 digit key are both very difficult to do.

      Thanks for the help nonetheless

      Hey! Any working solution on this?
      My gf’s XPS also did the same, but worse because this happens in internal ssd - meaning it also locks her out from Windows. As you mentioned, the key cant be found anywhere and I have tried solutions I found online, such as playing with secure boot, TPM in BIOS setting and downgrade the bios version, but none working.
      Thanks!

    Does it mean i have to wait more ? It's a M2 from a Surface Pro 4, my customer doesn't know the password and he think he never set a password... His tablet is out and i just have to unlock the M2 for put it on a external box.
    I'm scared because i think it doesn't have any password but only a recovery key :/

      Pentests and Tech So I have a question to ask you, isn’t this a brute force attack? It’s basically trying all the passwords right? Also I know that the recovery key or password is stored on the bit locker drive. What if that file is deleted before you forget the password or recovery key? Can you recover the hash from the drive at all? Let’s assume that the people that enabled bit locker on the drive delete the possibility of the recovery files such as passwords or recovery keys and even maybe they did something to delete the hash? Is it still possible? Thank you

    • @PentestsandTech
      @PentestsandTech  4 роки тому

      Yes a mask attack is a type of brute force attack, and no they cannot delete the hash because it is required to unlock the drive normally. This is different for TPM enabled bitlocker though.
