Abstract

Nowadays use of computers, mobile phones and external storage devices gain popularity among the population for storing their private data. To ensure privacy of these files user uses encryption software’s such as bit locker, true crypt etc. These software encrypt data, storage devices etc. and once the data is encrypted it is impossible to read these files without decryption key. In this research we demonstrate a methodology for decryption and extractions of bit by bit information stored in these types of files by using appropriate tools under forensically sound condition and also discussed a method for recovery of password from these files using hibernating files.
