You copy the "BitLockerCrack.py" from this repository to a folder of your choosing, open command prompt with admin privileges, and then run it like this: 'python BitLockerCrack.py D:' and hit enter, then it starts finding the password. For most machines there is no need to install any specific python libraries using pip, all the libraries come with default python installation. Also this script only works on Windows machines, cause it calls 'manage-bde.exe'. How to useįirst, you need python 3.X, preferably the newest version, installed. This tools, script rather, would help you with trying to crack open a Bitlocker encrypted volume using recovery password options. But some might just want to take that one in a theoretical 10^48 chance. Well, basically after a while and after trying this tools, or things like one might just give up and decide to format the whole partition eventually. But not all attempts are bad, sometimes one might just forget the key inside the encrypted volume, should we format the whole partition? So it is a good thing that it is hard to brute force a Bitlocker encrypted volume and that no one knows of a secret pattern.
While from a security perspective, if Bitlocker had any backdoors, or general keys, or a kind of algorithm built in that would generate close to actual keys, (like a filter or like if the number of possible keys for unlocking a Bitlocker drive are theoretically 10^48 possible keys, while the implementation of Bitlocker for the masses and general population only has actual 10^12 possible combinations that follow a secret formula or pattern that can be used to attack and unlock a (people version) Bitlocker drive), if any of these were implemented in a Bitlocker drive, then it wouldn't make any sense to encrypt a drive using Bitlocker and from a security perspective it would be BAD! It just happens, sometimes, out of bad luck, that one might forget the password for their Bitlocker encrypted volume or partition. A highly simplistic attempt to brute-force lost Bitlocker password!
