Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install aeskeyfind on CentOS 8.
What is aeskeyfind
This program illustrates automatic techniques for locating 128-bit and 256-bit AES keys in a captured memory image. The program uses various algorithms and also performs a simple entropy test to filter out blocks that are not keys. It counts the number of repeated bytes and skips blocks that have too many repeats. This method works even if several bits of the key schedule have been corrupted due to memory decay. This package is useful to several activities, as forensics investigations.
We can use yum or dnf to install aeskeyfind on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install aeskeyfind.
