BitLocker's reliance on a TPM for security is its own downfall in this specific exploit.

    Question: if I have an bitlocker encrypted SSD in a modern computer with embedded TPM, can I move this SSD to an old computer with external TPM to sniff the cod this way? Be gentle. I am dumb. Thanks.

      “Sniff the cod” This is a typo right? I don’t know any better, but I had a good laugh.

      Not unless you entered your recovery code to unlock it on the old computer with the external tpm.

      Nope. As soon as you move the disk to your second system/TPM, you lose any ability to decrypt it at all.

      The Key is stored on the Internal TPM. Only it can unlock the SSD.
