biunzip

  • You can download the latest release of biunzip from the releases section on GitHub.
  • Biunzip will either unzip a single zip file or unzip zip files in a directory using a CSV file.
  • This capability will enable running off-network investigations at scale and speed with minimal effort.

Below, we walk through the process

1) Download biunzip from GitHub.

biunzip: Github repository

2) Import off-network zipped files to a machine with AIR console access and the biunzip utility:

biunzip: Imported off-network collected files

3) Import off-network files into AIR (with acquisition password if the files are encrypted):

biunzip: Import Evidence

4) Export the passwords:

biunzip: Export passwords

5) View the exported passwords:

biunzip: View passwords

6) Run biunzip with the following flags and necessary flag values to unzip off-network files:

biunzip.exe --dir zip_dir_path --csv cvs_file_path

In this example, zip_dir_path points “C:\Users\roadrunner\Desktop\offnetwork_files” directory, csv_file_path points “C:\Users\roadrunner\Desktop\Off-Network-Zip-Passwords_3107231801.csv“ file.
