Vboxdie Cracker is a virtual box disk image encryption password cracker. User password is stored using a combination of PBKDF2 and AES-XTS, but they can be controlled inside the file format.

Vboxdie Cracker Requirements

  1. PHP >= 5.5.0
  2. OpenSSL >= 1.0.1 (XTS support)

Algorithm Description

User password is stored using a combination of PBKDF2 and AES-XTS as following (shown values are fixed at the moment, but they can be controlled inside the file format):

# 32 for AES-XTS128-PLAIN64
# 64 for AES-XTS256-PLAIN64
AES_key_length = 32 | 64

AES-password = PBKDF2(algorithm: SHA256,
                      password: user_password,
                      salt: random_salt_1,
                      iterations: 2000,
                      output_length: AES_key_length)

PBKDF2-decrypted-password = AES_decrypt(key_size: AES_key_length,
                                        mode: XTS,
                                        data: random_data
                                        password: AES-password,
                                        type: raw,
                                        iv: NULL)

Stored_hash = PBKDF2(algorithm: SHA256,
                     password: PBKDF2-decrypted-password,
                     salt: random_salt_2,
                     iterations: 2000,
                     output_length: 32)

The same process is performed each time the user wants to decrypt the machine disk.
