Dislocker
Dislocker is a driver to read and write Bitlocker-ed volumes under Linux systems.
Setup
On most of the Linux distributions Dislocker is bundled with the dislocker
package.
Mounting Bitlocker-ed volume
For the mounting to work two directories are required.
One to mount the dislocker-file (/mnt/bitlocker) and one to mount the
windows volume (/mnt/windows).
The device which holds the windows partition is assumed to be calles
/dev/sdc1.
The following command mounts the dislocker file to /mnt/bitlocker.
Make sure to replace the password in the following command.
There is no gap between the -u and the password:
sudo dislocker /dev/sdc1 -u<password> -- /mnt/bitlocker
Alternatively a recovery key can be used:
sudo dislocker /dev/sdc1 -p<recovery_password> -- /mnt/bitlocker
Afterwards the dislocker-file can be mounted to the /mnt/windows directory.
sudo mount -o loop /mnt/bitlocker/dislocker-file /mnt/windows
Following these commands the windows partition can be found mounted on
/mnt/windows.
It is possible that the partition uses the NTFS which requires the ntfs-3g
package to be installed to work with linux.
