Men om någon verkligen vill komma åt innehållet. Hur svårt är det?
how easy is it to brute force bitlocker or veracrypt?
Short answer: effectively infeasible if set up correctly.
🔐 BitLocker
Uses strong encryption (typically AES-128 or AES-256).
If protected by a good password or TPM + PIN, brute forcing is not realistic.
Weak point is usually user setup, not the crypto:
Short/simple PINs (like 4–6 digits) can be brute-forced faster.
If only TPM is used (no PIN), attacks may target hardware or boot process instead of brute force.
🔐 VeraCrypt
Also uses strong encryption (AES, Serpent, Twofish, or combinations).
Designed to resist brute-force attacks using:
Key derivation (PBKDF2, large iteration counts)
Optional keyfiles
With a strong password, brute forcing is practically impossible.
