Question about AES-256 - dis22co - Jul 21, 2014
How feasible is it to decrypt something that was encrypted with AES-256, and you know the password used, but don't have access to the key? And if it's at least somewhat feasible, what methods are available to do that?
The files that I'm dealing with were encrypted with Dell Data Protection Encryption. Laughably, the guy stored the key on the same drive he encrypted, so when things blew up, he couldn't get them back.
