"BitLocker Encryption Bypassed in 43 Seconds with $10 Raspberry Pi Pico"
TL;DR Summary
YouTuber stacksmashing demonstrated a major security flaw in Bitlocker encryption, using a sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico to bypass Windows Bitlocker in 43 seconds and steal the encryption keys. The flaw lies in the unencrypted communication lanes between the CPU and external TPM, allowing an attacker to sniff critical data and access the encryption keys. This flaw affects systems with external TPMs, while CPUs with built-in TPMs are not vulnerable.
