Volatility plugin that retrieves the Full Volume Encryption Key (FVEK) in memory. The FVEK can then be used with Dislocker to decrypt the volume. This plugin has been tested on every 64-bit Windows version from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and is fully compatible with Dislocker.

This work was done during my internship at Synetis.

Available options:

• Dump-dir: Dump the key to use it with bdemount, requires an output path
• Dislocker: Dump the key to use it with Dislocker, requires an output path
• Verbose: Add more information about the memory pools currently reviewed
• Debug: When the correct FVEK is not returned, it might help

Just copy the bitlocker.py file into the volatily plugin path:

cp bitlocker.py path/to/volatility/volatility/plugins/ 

Dump a memory image (it can be done using FTK Imager for example), and type:

python vol.py -f ${DUMP.raw} bitlocker --profile=${Windows_Profile} 

This will print the potential found FVEKs. The first returned should be the one as the plugin goes from the current Windows versions to the oldest.

To test the FVEK with Dislocker, you can add the Dislocker option:

python vol.py -f ${DUMP.raw} bitlocker --profile=${Windows_Profile} --dislocker /path/to/dump

The output will look like this:

After that, you can mount the disk by using Dislocker:

dislocker -k path/to/dump/0xb7811050c9a0-Dislocker.fvek /path/to/disk /path/to/dislocker && mount /path/to/dislocker/dislocker-file /path/to/mount

While Dislocker will mount the volume in read-write mode, bdemount will respect the hibernation flag and may mount it in read-only mode. Moreover, there is one known issue which makes bdemount and my output not compatible for AES-XTS 128-bit key.

I recommend to use Dislocker.
