WD5000BMVW-11AMCS0 default AES key

[asmix]

I got hard drive from WD Passport that detected with LBA 0, succesfully converted it normal SATA drive by using PCB 771692.
Now I have full access to disk, but all data is crypted by Symwave SW6316-3VB chip from original PCB.
At now got no time/no chance to find original PCB donor.
So, does anyone explore where to find that password (ROM, SA, etc.)?

it has to be on Earth for sure..
converting to SATA will not do any GOOD to access DATA
ur issue is very far away from what ur doing

good luck

I wonder if people know how AES work

Ah, I forgot there's wiki ...

FYI, i'm aware of what i'm doing and also aware of crypto algo's.
Symwave controller on original PCB is dead, at the moment i have no chance to get another.
It crypted all user data with AES128 or AES-XTS algo, as no user password was used, controller used default cipherkey.
I have a working implementation of both possible algo's and only cipherkey is needed.

And if you guys think that you are pretty smart at least try to answer my first question.

P.S. Sorry for my BAD english, i'm not a native speaker.

it's AES256 ECB for data (could be AES128 ECB but it's very rare)
There is no default cipherkey. The key is unique for each drive. To get the key you need to decrypt it from the special sector using default passphrase (if no password installed). Encryption algo of the sector is unknown to me
But if you are pretty smart - you could figure it out

Thx Doomer, but where is the special sector?

[Doomer]

On the drive

That was obvious, but thx again.
