-## CVE-2022-33679 (RC4 Is Still Considered Harmful)
+## CVE-2022-33679
 
 > CVE-2022-33679 performs an encryption downgrade attack by forcing the KDC to use the RC4-MD4 algorithm and then brute forcing the session key from the AS-REP using a known plaintext attack, Similar to AS-REP Roasting, it works against accounts that have pre-authentication disabled and the attack is unauthenticated meaning we don’t need a client’s password..

+### DPAPI LocalMachine Context
+
+The `LocalMachine` context is used to protect data that is intended to be shared across different users or services on a single machine. This means that any user or service running on the machine can access the protected data with the appropriate credentials.
+
+In contrast, the `CurrentUser` context is used to protect data that is intended to be accessed only by the user who encrypted it, and cannot be accessed by other users or services on the same machine.

+## BitLocker Drive Encryption
+
+BitLocker is a full-disk encryption feature included in Microsoft Windows operating systems starting with Windows Vista. It is designed to protect data by providing encryption for entire volumes. BitLocker uses AES encryption algorithm to encrypt data on the disk. When enabled, BitLocker requires a user to enter a password or insert a USB flash drive to unlock the encrypted volume before the operating system is loaded, ensuring that data on the disk is protected from unauthorized access. BitLocker is commonly used on laptops, portable storage devices, and other mobile devices to protect sensitive data in case of theft or loss.
+
+When BitLocker is in `Suspended` state, boot the system using a Windows Setup USB, and then decrypt the drive using this command: `manage-bde -off c:`
+
+You can check if it is done decrypting using this command: `manage-bde -status`
