 BitCracker is the first open source password cracking tool for memory units encrypted with BitLocker (using the password authentication method).

+## Introduction
 
 BitLocker (formerly BitLocker Drive Encryption) is a full-disk encryption feature available in recent Windows versions (Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, the Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows 8, 8.1 and 10).
 BitCracker is a mono-GPU (OpenCL and CUDA) password cracking tool for memory units encrypted with the password authentication method of BitLocker (see picture below).

 Our attack has been tested on several memory units encrypted with BitLocker running on Windows 7, Window 8.1,  Windows 10 (compatible and not compatible mode) and BitLocker To Go.

+## Notes
 
 In case of false positives you can use the -s option, that is a more restrictive check on the correctness of the final result. Altough this check is empirically verified and it works with all the encrypted images in this repo, we can't guarantee that it doesn't lead to false negatives. Use -s option only if BitCracker returns several false positives.

 BitCracker doesn't provide any mask attack, cache mechanism or smart dictionary creation; therefore you need to provide your own input dictionary.
