BitLocker with pin is not vulnerable to that (or any other) attack.

10 points deducted. Try again.

last famous words? :D

I appreciate your desire to shit on Microsoft for everything they’ve ever done, but they got BitLocker with PIN right.

Explain how an exploit can decrypt the drive without the portion of the key that the user must enter. The computer doesn’t know the entire key, and can’t decrypt the drive without it, or the recovery key. This is why BitLocker with PIN hasn’t been defeated yet. I don’t understand how it could ever be defeated without entering the PIN.
