Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor 2.21.1036

File Size: 42.6 MB

Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor offers all available methods for gaining access to information stored in encrypted BitLocker, FileVault 2, PGP, TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt disks and volumes. The toolkit allows using the volume's plain-text password, escrow or recovery keys, as well as the binary keys extracted from the computer's memory image or hibernation file. FileVault 2 recovery keys can be extracted from iCloud with Elcomsoft Phone Breaker, while BitLocker recovery keys are available in Active Directory or in the user's Microsoft Account.

New features

If neither the encryption key nor the recovery key can be extracted, EFDD can extract meta data from the encrypted container to let Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery do its job.

Full Decryption, Instant Mount or Attack
With fully automatic detection of encrypted volumes and encryption settings, experts will only need to provide path to the encrypted container or disk image. Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor will automatically search for, identify and display encrypted volumes and details of their corresponding encryption settings.

Access is provided by either decrypting the entire content of an encrypted volume or by mounting the volume as a drive letter in unlocked, unencrypted mode. Both operations can be done with volumes as attached disks (physical or logical) or raw images; for FileVault 2, PGP and BitLocker, decryption and mounting can be performed using recovery key (if available).

Full Decryption
Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor can automatically decrypt the entire content of the encrypted container, providing investigators with full, unrestricted access to all information stored on encrypted volumes

Real-Time Access to Encrypted Information
In the real-time mode, Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor mounts the encrypted volume as a new drive letter on the investigator's PC. In this mode, forensic specialists enjoy fast, real-time access to protected information. Information read from mounted disks and volumes is decrypted on-the-fly in real time.

No Decryption Key and No Recovery Key?
If neither the decryption key nor the recovery key is available, Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor will extract metadata necessary to brute-force the password with Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery.

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery can attack plain-text passwords protecting the encrypted containers with a range of advanced attacks including dictionary, mask and permutation attacks in addition to brute-force.

Sources of Encryption Keys
Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor needs the original encryption keys in order to access protected information stored in crypto containers. The encryption keys can be extracted from hibernation files or memory dump files acquired while the encrypted volume was mounted. There are three ways available to acquire the original encryption keys
By analyzing the hibernation file (if the PC being analyzed is turned off);
By analyzing a memory dump file. A memory dump of a running PC can be acquired with the built-in memory imaging tool.
By performing a FireWire attack (PC being analyzed must be running with encrypted volumes mounted). A free tool launched on investigator's PC is required to perform the FireWire attack (e.g. Inception).
By capturing a memory dump with built-in RAM imaging tool
FileVault 2, PGP and BitLocker volumes can be decrypted or mounted by using the escrow key (Recovery Key).

New features
VeraCrypt Encryption
VeraCrypt is the most popular successor to open-source disk encryption tool TrueCrypt. Compared to the original, VeraCrypt supposes a wider range of encryption methods and hash algorithms. In this update, Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor receives full support for VeraCrypt volumes, enabling experts extracting hash data from VeraCrypt containers to launch brute-force or smart dictionary attacks with Distributed Password Recovery.

System Requirements
Windows 7 or higher
For all supported encrypted disks/containers: memory image or hibernation file that contains disk encryption keys (created when encrypted disk was mounted) pr password itself
For BitLocker and PGP: recovery key
For BitLocker: Active Directory database (ntds.dit)
For FileVault2-encrypted containers: recovery token from iCloud, or locally saved recovery key, or password (for HFS+ partitions only; for APFS, only generation of data for further password recovery is supported)
For VHD and VHDX images: Windows 8.1 or higher
