I covered the Defeating Disk Encryption story here at Ghacks in February)

The developers of the application have released the software, or more precisely the source code, that they have created for their research paper which can be freely downloaded from the project’s website. Available are the tools to create an image of the system memory, the automatic key finding applications and a program for error-correction for AES key schedules.

Two memory imaging tools (USB / PXE Imaging Tools and EFI Netboot Imaging Tools) and Automatic key-finding (AESKeyFinder and RSAKeyFinder) are available on the website.

The research paper can also be downloaded from the website along with frequently asked questions.
