While I am aware of bitlocker in general, I don't have a full grasp of it. Just how secure is it from a software of hardware attack?
It was my understanding that veracrypt was considered more tested than bitlocker due to the lack of backdoors or workarounds. Can anoyone point me at some good resources regarding this?
It depends on the mode you're using. If you use the transparent unlock functionality (the default) then it's vulnerable to hardware key extraction. If you use anything else (PIN, password, whatever) then I'm not aware of any weaknesses or workarounds. I'm certainly not aware of any backdoors.
I think with a Microsoft account login on Windows 10/11, BitLocker recovery keys are synced to your Microsoft account and can be viewed from your Microsoft account device settings. They may also be present on Active Directory so there may be some vulnerabilities on any of those avenues which may be easier to circumvent than BitLocker itself.
