## What it is
Dislocker is a FUSE-based driver and library that reads and writes Windows BitLocker-encrypted partitions (including BitLocker-To-Go) from Linux and macOS. It exposes the decrypted volume as a virtual NTFS file via dislocker-fuse or fully decrypts it to a flat file via dislocker-file.

## Use cases
- mount a BitLocker-encrypted Windows partition under Linux
- access BitLocker-To-Go USB drives on macOS
- decrypt a BitLocker volume to a flat NTFS file
- recover files from a Windows disk on a Linux machine
- read AES-XTS or AES-CBC encrypted partitions

## When to choose
- you need read/write access to BitLocker volumes from Linux or macOS
- you want a scriptable CLI for decrypting BitLocker partitions
- you need support for BitLocker-To-Go removable media

## When to avoid
- you need full-disk encryption for your own Linux volumes (use LUKS instead)
- you want a GUI for mounting encrypted drives
- you need BitLocker support on Windows itself

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: file-system, cryptography, cli
- domain: security, files, operating-systems, privacy
- platform: cli
- tags: fuse, bitlocker, disk-encryption, ntfs, decryption, linux, macos
