![]() Passware Kit scans the physical memory image file (acquired while the encrypted disk was mounted, even if the target computer was locked), extracts all the encryption keys, and decrypts the given volume. Such memory images can be acquired using third-party tools, such as Passware Bootable Memory Imager, Belkasoft Live RAM Capturer, ManTech Physical Memory Dump Utility, Magnet RAM Capture, Digital Collector, osxpmem or win32dd. If the target computer with the encrypted volume is powered off, encryption keys are not stored in its memory, but they could be possibly recovered from the hiberfil.sys file, which is automatically created when a system hibernates. ![]() NOTE: If the target computer is turned off and the encrypted volume was dismounted during the last hibernation, neither the memory image nor the hiberfil.sys file will contain the encryption keys. Therefore, instant decryption of the volume is impossible. Run Passware Kit to recover the encryption keys and decrypt the hard disk.īelow are the steps to decrypt a hard disk image.ĭecrypting a Hard Disk (VeraCrypt container).Acquire a memory image of or take the hiberfil.sys file from the target computer.Overall Disk Decryption Steps with Memory Image: In this case, Passware Kit assigns brute-force attacks to recover the original password for the volume, which is a time-consuming process. ![]() ![]() Passware Kit can work with either a VeraCrypt volume file (.HC, encrypted file container) or with its image. ![]()
