Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ - disable encryption

[uranus64]

HERE you can find original manual for your model.

I have something similar (DTSP model from Kingston). My model is also with hardware encryption. As I know you have no chance to disable this feature and after that, your unit act as normal one, without encryption. In fact this encryption is heart of this kind of units. You want to bypass AES chip and you can't do this by software methods. Be carefull because you can destroy contents on the first partition (is mounted like CD-ROM unit) and need to replace software in it (like a firmware upgrade). You can do this only if you contact Kingston support. If you are lucky (like me) you can obtain acces to their ftp and download firmware upgrade and repair bricked unit.

First partition has inside one file named "Exmp.zip" (in my case). This file is password protected and password is very difficult to find: 123456

P.S. I have some pdf files to teach you how to bypass password on several units with hardware encryption.

Thank you narciszu!

Unfortunately this is what I was afraid of: not being able to disable the hardware encryption feature.

Too bad, I don't need to bypass the password ;-)

BTW: I don't have a "Exmp.zip" on the drive.
But I've found this pdf where it's mentioned.

HERE you can find several pdf files related to the USB Security bypass. I included the file from link provided by TheLostOne. Most interesting is "A_Security_Aspect_Of_USB_Flash_Drives_v1_1_by_potassium" from ARTeam.
Other files came from SySS GmbH - a group of experts looking for security vulnerabilities.

P.S. Maybe someone will find interesting.
