Developed by sinfocol to to crack VirtualBox Disk Image Encryption passwords in .vbox files, this tool is a port in Python 3 of the original PHP script.

Description

The VBox files (.vbox) contain the virtual machine informations. When the user sets a password, a new element called Property is added to the HardDisk element inside the machine configuration.

Here is a sample from a VBox file :

<HardDisk uuid="{9c7d58a4-4d90-4xxx-b8fa-73ad27550d45}" location="Encrypted.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal">
          <Property name="CRYPT/KeyId" value="VM"/>
          <Property name="CRYPT/KeyStore" value="U0NORQABQUVTLVhUUzI1Ni1QTEFJTjY0AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABQQktERj
          ItU0hBMjU2AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAABvS/VqJLI2X44BS9
          +Njw3CzwckGpyuZxS6nYgC/BzCByAAAABqCM2V9MpQ7RvyfCdcFAQXjr
          iay2YBKLXItWZzFTxsGiBOAAD4oQv/5wWedWE4p16mQaya8vwUZ/i/ko
          AHa63lWJvmSMDUAQBAAAAAmLe9bB4Q/2gGzS2l3kgMlnR3sVRMvOztBG
          /kTz63jBkVv34TWHzxSWcdu8RHlrNFbkoqkCvY7udQKZV43ZaKqg=="/>
</HardDisk>

The KeyStore is encoded using Base64, and it contains the information needed by the machine to verify the password each time the user wants to start a machine or change its password. Here are some information about the KeyStore structure :

Offset	Bytes	Description
0	4	File header signature = 0x454E4353 (SCNE)
4	2	Version
6	32	EVP algorithm
38	32	PBKDF2 hash algorithm
70	4	Generic key length (used by PBKDF2 and AES-XTS)
74	32	Final hash where comparison is done
106	4	Key length used in the second call to PBKDF2
110	32	Salt used in the second call to PBKDF2
142	4	Iterations used in the second call to PBKDF2
146	32	Salt used in the first call to PBKDF2
178	4	Iterations used in the first call to PBKDF2
182	4	EVP input length
186	64	Encrypted password used in the second call to PBKDF2
