fork of Aorimn/dislocker but with 32bit and for snow leopard optimization

INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATIONS `-----------------------------

This software has been designed to read BitLocker encrypted partitions under a Linux system. The driver used to only read volumes encrypted under a Windows 7 system but is now Windows Vista and 8 capable and has the write functionality.

The core driver is composed of a library, with multiple binaries (see the NOTES section below) using this library. Two binaries are of interest when wanting to decrypt a BitLocker encrypted partition:

. dislocker-fuse: binary using FUSE to dynamically decrypt the BitLocker-ed partition. You have to give it a mount point where, once keys are decrypted, a file named `dislocker-file' appears. This file is a virtual NTFS partition, so you can mount it as any NTFS partition and then read from or write to it. Note that writing to the NTFS virtual file will change the underlying BitLocker partition's content.

. dislocker-file: binary decrypting a BitLocker encrypted partition into a flat file. This file has to be given through commandline and, once dislocker-file is finished, will be an NTFS partition. It won't have any link to the original BitLocker partition. Therefore, if you write to this file, the BitLocker volume won't change, only the NTFS file will. Note that this may take a long time to create that file, depending on the size of the encrypted partition. But afterward, once the partition is decrypted, the access to the NTFS partition will be faster. Another thing to think about os the size on your disk this binary needs: the same size as the volume you're trying to decrypt. Nethertheless, once the partition is decrypted, you can mount your file as any NTFS partition.

Thanks goes to Rogier Wolff for testing, hugsy for all the OSX support and patches, Will Dyson for the patches, and all the people who give feedbacks.

INSTALLATION AND REQUIREMENTS `-----------------------------

See INSTALL.txt for things dealing with the install process. Once installed, see dislocker(1) for details on how to use it.

BUGS `----

There may be bugs, and I'll be happy to hear about it!

Feel free to send comments and feedbacks to .

NOTE `----

Four binaries are built when compiling dislocker as described in the INSTALL.txt file:

• One for disecting a .bek file and printing information about it dislocker-bek
• Another one for printing information about a BitLocker-encrypted volume dislocker-metadata
• A third one for decrypting a BitLocker encrypted partition into a flat file formatted as an NTFS partition you can mount dislocker-file
• A last one, which is the one you're using when calling `dislocker', dynamically decrypts a BitLocker encrypted partition using FUSE dislocker-fuse

You can build each one independently providing it as the makefile target. For instance, if you want to compile dislocker-fuse only, you'd simply run: make dislocker-fuse To install this binary only, you would then run the following command: make install BINS=dislocker-fuse
