Utility to find AES keys in running process memory. Works for 128, 192 and 256-bit keys..
Open aes-finder.sln solution in Visual Studio 2013 to compile source. Alternatively use gcc/clang:
g++ -O3 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer aes-finder.cpp -o aes-finder
To search for keys in process with id = 123, execute following:
aes-finder.exe -123
To search for keys in any process with the name chrome.exe, execute following:
aes-finder.exe chrome.exe
Now you can see what kind of AES keys are used in your favorite application!

- Does not work on whitebox AES keys
- 32-bit binary can search only in 32-bit processes, 64-bit binary can search in both - 32 and 64-bit ones
- "encryption key" means that this key can be used for encryption or decryption
- "decryption key" means that this key most likely is used only for decryption
- on Linux requires at least v3.2 kernel (process_vm_readv syscall)
