About Dislocker

Dislocker lets Linux and macOS users open drives encrypted with Windows BitLocker. It decrypts the volume through FUSE, and the decrypted volume can then be mounted and read or written like any other drive. It is run from the command line and comes with man pages.

Development continues. Recent work added XTS support through OpenSSL, moved the project to FUSE 3 and fixed parsing bugs. It suits people with dual-boot systems or external drives that were encrypted on Windows.

Strengths

Read and write access to BitLocker volumes outside Windows
Works on both Linux and macOS
Actively maintained with recent crypto updates

Limitations

Command-line only, with no graphical interface
Requires FUSE to be installed
