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. ​

Features Available in Professional Mode Effortlessly launch virtual machines from disk images Extremely powerful Windows authentication and DPAPI bypasses within virtual machines Volume Shadow Copy mounting (standard, with Windows NTFS driver bypass, or as complete disks) Launch virtual machines directly from Volume Shadow Copies Windows file system driver bypass (FAT, NTFS, ExFAT, HFS+, Ext2/3/4, etc.) Exposure of NTFS metadata, slack, and unallocated in Windows file system driver bypass mode Virtually mount archives and directories Save disk images with fully-decrypted BitLocker volumes Attach to actual physical disks (fixed and removable) to leverage virtual machine launching, VSC mounting, etc.

System Requirements Windows 10 (version 1703 or later), 11, or Server 2016/2019 x64 with the latest .NET 6 so that all functionality (e.g. launching virtual machines and BitLocker-related functionality) works as intended
