We are aware of audio issues, especially during talks of day 1 (2024-12-27).
Some talks have been released in a preview-version, but are still being worked
on behind the scenes.



Ever wondered how Cellebrite and law enforcement gain access to encrypted
devices without knowing the password? In this talk, we’ll demonstrate how to
bypass BitLocker encryption on a fully up-to-date Windows 11 system using Secure
Boot. We’ll leverage a little-known software vulnerability that Microsoft has
been unable to patch since 2022: bitpixie (CVE-2023-21563).

We'll live-demo the exploit, and will walk through the entire process—from the
prerequisites and inner workings of the exploit to why Microsoft has struggled
to address this flaw. We'll also discuss how to protect yourself from this and
similar vulnerabilities.

BitLocker is Microsoft’s implementation of full-volume encryption. It offers
several modes of operation, but the most widely used is Secure Boot-based
encryption.
Many consumer and corporate clients use it, and it’s starting to be enabled by
default under "Device Encryption" on newer Windows 11 installations.

In this mode, the harddrive is encrypted at rest but is automatically unsealed
when a legit windows boots, meaning users don't need a separate decryption
password. They just have to sign in with their usual user account.

Unfortunately, this configuration has been broken for quite a while. Hardware
attacks against a dTPM are widely known, but software attacks are possible as
well, at least since 2022, when Rairii discovered the bitpixie bug
(CVE-2023-21563).
While this bug is 'fixed' since Nov. 2022 and publically known since 2023, we
can still use it today with a downgrade attack to decrypt BitLocker.

In this talk, we'll dive into:

- How does Secure Boot work, and what role does the TPM play?
- How can Bitlocker leverage the TPM?
- How does the bitpixie exploit work? What are PXE boot and BCD?
- What are the prerequisites for running this exploit?
- How can you protect yourself against it?
- Why is it so challenging for Microsoft to fully fix this?
- How does this affect Linux secure boot?
