Many Windows®-based disk image mounting solutions mount the contents of disk images as shares or partitions, rather than complete (aka "physical or "real") disks, which limits their usefulness to digital forensics practitioners and others. Arsenal Image Mounter mounts the contents of disk images as complete disks in Windows, allowing users to benefit from disk-specific features like integration with Disk Manager, launching virtual machines (and then bypassing Windows authentication and DPAPI), managing BitLocker-protected volumes, mounting Volume Shadow Copies, and more.
“Arsenal Image Mounter is a “must have.” No other software allows us to perform such quick and easy virtualization of disk images with powerful features like the Windows authentication and DPAPI bypasses, seamlessly attaching VHDs to the virtual machines to run additional tools, etc. Recently we had our first disk image fail to launch into a VM. I contacted Arsenal support and within a couple hours they isolated the problem, which involved a mixture of boot loaders preventing a normal Windows boot in a VM. While this problem was not related directly to AIM, Arsenal support automated the resolution of this problem and it will be incorporated into the next version. In our experience, it is rare to have both software and support this powerful.”

Automating Our Workflow
“After requesting that the ability to save disk images with fully-decrypted BitLocker volumes be added to Arsenal Image Mounter’s CLI version, the functionality was quickly added and we were given an internal build to test. The new functionality works great and we are now automating our workflow involving BitLocker decryption and imaging!”
