The use of special and upper/lower chars and the length varries from time to time. No, i don't use fixed password shemes nor words from a dictionary. I will take a look to your posted link / reallymine. I got just this informations by checking the S/N:ĭescription: MY PASSPORT 4TB BLACK WORLDWIDEĭescription: MY PASSPORT ULTRA 4TB BLACK EMEA I have tried the online warranty status to get hopefully the production date. This is probaly called WD smartware - i don't really know atm. In this case things become more complicated, as you'd have to try take an image of the encrypted drive first etc harddrive is crypted/protected with the buildin manufactor mechanism. Which then gives the question if your drive does self-erase after multiple wrong passwords had been entered. Do you passwords contain things that are in a dictionary? What is your typical password length? What characters do you use, which don't you use? If you have a weak password scheme, it might be possible to automatically brute force. The main question is if you have a fixed password scheme that you use for your passwords, and how good that is. It will be really hard and take long, but it might be possible: WD Smartware for example back in 2015 were easy to crack due to them using a non-cryptographic random number generator.

In the end, it all depends on if any security issues in the product make brute-forcing the password easier. I am ready to pay you a reasonable amount for the help you do for me either decrypting the drive for me or helping me with few digits of the password so I can relate and enter the correct one.First of all, what technology did you use to encrypt the harddrive? WD smartware? Bitlocker? Truecrypt? Veracrypt? any safe guards you can suggest to keep the drive safe ? ( while I follow your instruction of NOT to connect it to a Windows machine to keep the encrypted MBR safe ).I am thinking of making an image backup of this Drive before we begin, any recommendations ? Should I make a full image of part ?.Having the INIC 1607E chip, is it not possible to decrypt the drive while connected to Linux and copy the data ?.OR if you can find a suitable cable / enclosure on amazon.in for me to buy, it will be a great help. Can I use a simple SATA-USB external drive enclosure like this OR do you want me to use something like this.I am not sure if Team Viewer works with the same so I can give you remote access wherever possible. Can I use Kubuntu 18.04.0 LTS to access the drive, please confirm so I can prepare the environment.
