v1.0.0-beta.5.2

BitLockPick v1.0.0-beta.5.2

Recovery Lab

• Paste a full recovery key; blocks arrange in a 4×2 layout
• Press Enter to start recovery

Unlock modal

• Reliable focus and keyboard input
• Enter submits the password
• Frameless window drag no longer blocks typing

Brute-force session persistence

• Recovery progress is saved and resumes after restart or reboot (Windows and macOS resume offset)

BitLockPick v1.0.0-beta.5 (Beta - Windows free)

BitLockPick v1.0.0-beta.5

Windows 10 / 11 (x64) — Home & Pro supported.

Highlights

• 100% free on Windows — including Recovery Lab. No license key, no gate, no phone-home. What used to be the Pro-only brute-force recovery is now part of the free build.
• Windows Home support via WMI. BitLocker operations (status, unlock, lock, encrypt, decrypt) now go through Win32_EncryptableVolume, so drives are manageable even on Home editions where the native BitLocker manager is missing.
• Cleaner status detection using VolumeStatus + LockStatus.
• beta.3 is deprecated — please upgrade.

Download

• Primary: https://rustyrat.it/downloads/BitLockPick-1.0.0-beta.5-x64.exe
• Mirror (this release): BitLockPick-1.0.0-beta.5-x64.exe below.

Run the installer as Administrator to manage encrypted drives. The recovery-key validator works without elevation.

Antivirus false positives (Symantec / Norton / SmartScreen)

The installer is not signed yet (Authenticode certificates are pricey for an indie project) and it is an Electron app that talks to BitLocker via WMI and PowerShell — a legitimate but atypical combination. Some AV engines, notably Symantec / Norton, may flag it as suspicious.

This is a false positive. The full source is in this repository — you can build it yourself with npm install && npm run dist and compare hashes.

If your AV blocks the file:

• Symantec / Norton: submit at https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ (include filename BitLockPick-1.0.0-beta.5-x64.exe).
• Windows SmartScreen: click More info → Run anyway.
• Microsoft Defender: Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Protection history → Allow.

macOS

Not shipped in this release. A macOS build is in preparation and will become a paid product once it works reliably on real Mac hardware.

Beta warning

BitLockPick performs real, potentially destructive BitLocker operations (encrypt / decrypt / lock / unlock). Test on non-critical drives first and always keep an independent backup of your recovery keys. No warranty — see LICENSE.

BitLockPick v1.0.0-beta.3 (Beta)

⚠️ BETA — experimental recovery tooling

BitLockPick is beta and performs real BitLocker operations (unlock/lock/encrypt/decrypt) plus experimental brute-force key recovery, via PowerShell. Use it on your own non-critical drives and keep an independent backup of your recovery keys. No warranty.

Download (Windows x64)

• BitLockPick-1.0.0-beta.3-x64.exe — installer (Start-Menu + desktop shortcut).

Run as Administrator to manage/recover drives. The recovery-key validator works without elevation. SmartScreen may warn because the binary is unsigned (expected for a beta).

What's new in beta.3

• 🌍 Bilingual UI (English / Polish) — instant toggle in the header, remembered across sessions; tray, dialogs and number formatting are localized too.
• 🧹 Ship the installer only (portable build removed).

Features

• 🔑 Recovery-Key Validator — mod-11 typo repair and partial digit reconstruction (a single missing digit per block is recovered deterministically).
• 🧪 Recovery Lab (experimental) — brute-force whole missing blocks against a locked drive, testing only mod-11-valid candidates (65,536/block). 1 missing block ≈ feasible (hours); 2+ → use offline GPU (bitcracker); all blocks → mathematically impossible.
• 🔓 Unlock a locked drive straight from the repaired/reconstructed key.
• 💽 Drive manager with accurate encrypted / locked / decrypted detection; lock, encrypt, decrypt.
• 🛡️ Frameless translucent UI, system tray, single-instance lock, safe behavior during long operations.
