I'm honestly surprised it was this hard to hack. Seems to me without a bitlocker password the hard drive automatically decrypts at boot, rendering the encryption completely irrelevant. The low hanging fruit should be finding a way through the windows login.
- ryankrage77 5y agoThe utilman.exe trick relies on having write access to the filesystem, something you cannot do while the machine is off (disk is encrypted) or at the login screen (system is live, you can't mount the disk). Mounting a disk from a hibernating system doesn't work either, in my experience. Of course, there are other ways to defeat Windows logon, but they're presumably more difficult.
