Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2020-0df5b04e6e
2020-08-22 01:23:29.363306
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : dislocker
Product : Fedora EPEL 8
Version : 0.7.1
Release : 17.el8
URL :
https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker
Summary : Utility to access BitLocker encrypted volumes
Description :
Dislocker has been designed to read BitLocker encrypted partitions ("drives")
under a Linux system. The driver has the capability to read/write partitions
encrypted using Microsoft Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (AES-CBC, AES-XTS,
128 or 256 bits, with or without the Elephant diffuser, encrypted partitions);
BitLocker-To-Go encrypted partitions (USB/FAT32 partitions).
The file name where the BitLocker encrypted partition will be decrypted needs
to be given. This may take a long time, depending on the size of the encrypted
partition. But afterward, once the partition is decrypted, the access to the
NTFS partition will be faster than with FUSE. Another thing to think about is
the size of the disk (same size as the volume that is tried to be decrypted).
Nevertheless, once the partition is decrypted, the file can be mounted as any
NTFS partition and won't have any link to the original BitLocker partition.
