Hi, I have this Kingston pen drive here, that is protected with password, that encrypts the contents of the pen. Client by accident clicked on the format button and set a new password and now needs to get the files that were there. Anyone had any experience with this ones and know if the encryption is done at chip level? Thanks |

Depends.. IIRC Kingston had two methods.. #1: On older drives w/ a phison controller an app mounts a hidden unencrypted partition stored in the NAND chip (no encryption done). #2: On newer drives the app mounts an AES encrypted image file on the visible drive (encryption done by software). The latter would be more difficult to recover. |

This one is quite recent, so I guess it's case #2. Thanks |
