This looks like an awesome project but I am confused on the process. What is an encrypted memory unit and exactly how do I get it. Assume I am looking at a PC right now what software/commands will I use to collect it?

The next step would be to run bitcracker_hash against it and then finally bitcracker_cuda?

If you want to do a complete test by yourself, you must have a Windows OS with BitLocker (To Go) installed (as specified in the main page of this project). For example, you can encrypt with BitLocker an USB flash drive using a password between 8 and 27 characters.
Then you need to run bitcracker_hash on the encrypted USB (you can extract the entire device image using tools like dd in Linux) and finally use the output hash as input of bitcracker_cuda (you need an NVIDIA GPU) or bitcracker_opencl (you can use GPU or CPU, but with a CPU performance are very slow). The input dictionary must contain the password you typed during encryption.

If I have my desktop encrypted using Bitlocker and its Win 7/Win 10 could I use this on it or does it only work on Bitlocker go encrypted portable hard drives/flash drives?

I've improved the README with an extensive example, starting from the encrypted memory device.
If you are able to extract the image of your encrypted HD, you can use BitCracker.
