Extract text from EVK files
To convert your EVK file to another format, you need Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Forensic Security File" file type, you need software like Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor or a similar tool.
An .evk file is a specialized Encrypted Volume Key generated by Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor. These files contain cryptographic keys extracted from a computer's volatile memory (RAM), hibernation files (hiberfil.sys), or page files. Forensic investigators use them to instantly decrypt or mount protected storage containers - such as BitLocker, FileVault 2, PGP Disk, and TrueCrypt - without knowing the original user password.
For most users, an .EVK file acts as a locked "master key" that is useless without the proprietary Elcomsoft software suite. Because the file is a raw binary dump of encryption parameters, it cannot be opened in standard text editors like Microsoft Notepad or Word. Practical constraints include the high cost of the required forensic software and the file's sensitivity; possessing an .EVK file allows unrestricted access to the associated encrypted drive. To view the key's raw data for manual analysis or reporting, users often need to convert it to TXT (Hex/ASCII representation) or a generic KEY format.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EVK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VDIC, 20 and TLV files.
If you want to convert EVK file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor or similar software from the "Forensic Decryption Key Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EVK, try Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor or another comparable tool in the "Forensic Decryption Key Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EVK converter.
