Greetings,

I saw this announce the other day.  First commercial tool to crack BitLocker arrives.

Passware Kit Forensic version 9.5 can recover encryption keys for hard drives protected with BitLocker in just a few 
minutes. It scans a physical memory image file of the target computer and extracts all the encryption keys for a given 
BitLocker disk. As a result, Passware has crowned itself the creator of the first commercially available software to 
crack BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Thanks
Terrence
