dislocker is a free utility, which can be used to mount BitLocker encrypted volumes on Linux. Here is a quick guide how to use it. I installed it on Kali Linux, but it can be installed anywhere.
To download the application visit:
http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/
http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/dislocker.tar.gz
Once downloaded extract the file:
root@kali:~# tar -xvf dislocker.tar.gz
We have to options for comiling: w/ or w/o FUSE. Basically if we use FUSE we will be able to mount it, and browse it, if not, then the only way to check the contents is to decrypt the full drive, which is not that efficient. So let's go for FUSE here. Edit the Makefile, and set __RUN_FUSE to 1 and __RUN_FILE to 0:
dislocker/src/Makefile
# Choose between one of them (done automatically by using `make fuse' or `make file')
__RUN_FUSE = 1
Then compile the app:
root@kali:~/dislocker/src# make
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wconversion -DPROGNAME=\"dislocker\" -DVERSION=\"0.3\" -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include -I. -L/usr/lib64 -D__ARCH_X86_64 -D__RUN_FUSE -DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26 -c -o outputs/fuse/fuse.o outputs/fuse/fuse.c
In file included from ./dislocker.h:28:0,
from outputs/fuse/fuse.c:33:
./outputs/fuse/fuse.h:32:19: fatal error: fuse.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [outputs/fuse/fuse.o] Error 1
If you get the error above you will need the FUSE header files, to install those run:
apt-get install libfuse-dev
and then compile dislocker, it should be good now.
root@kali:~/dislocker/src# make
root@kali:~/dislocker/src# make install
Once it's installed let's the help:
For decryption you can use the recovery key (decryption key), the user supplied password or the bekfile.
I created a VHD test image for this, here are the details:
root@kali:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 104 MB, 104857600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12 cylinders, total 204800 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6fa418dc
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 128 198783 99328 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
I will need to decrypt /dev/sdb1. First I will try it using the decryption keys. The steps are to read the volume, and then mount it with fuse. When we first read in the volume (decrypt) we will get a single file, called "dislocker-file", which can be mounted later. There is a single file on my test drive.
root@kali:~# dislocker -v -V /dev/sdb1 -p275374-090651-082764-392205-130460-581966-062942-402083 -- /mnt/tmp
root@kali:~# ls /mnt/tmp/
dislocker-file
root@kali:~# mount -o loop,ro /mnt/tmp/dislocker-file /mnt/dis
root@kali:~# ls /mnt/dis/
my super secret file.txt.txt $RECYCLE.BIN System Volume Information
root@kali:~# cat /mnt/dis/my\ super\ secret\ file.txt.txt
You got it!
The process is very similar if we use the actual password, which is "password" in this case.
root@kali:~# dislocker -v -V /dev/sdb1 -upassword -- /mnt/tmp2root@kali:~# mount -o loop,ro /mnt/tmp/dislocker-file /mnt/dis2
root@kali:~# ls /mnt/dis2/
my super secret file.txt.txt $RECYCLE.BIN System Volume Information
root@kali:~# cat /mnt/dis2/my\ super\ secret\ file.txt.txt
You got it!
