Connect an external storage device with enough capacity to store a
complete memory dump of your system. We will assume it is mounted at

This will first take a complete memory dump using `DumpIt`. Time will
depend on the amount of memory and the speed of your external drive.
The memory dump is then searched for a volume master key (VMK). If
successful, a `vmk-*.dat` file should now exists in the current directory.
This will search physical memory for a volume master key (VMK) using a
modified version of [WinPmem](https://github.com/martanne/WinPmem-BitLocker).
If successful, a `vmk-*.dat` file should now exists in the current directory.
The next step is to determine the byte offset of the encrypted partition
relative to the start of the disk. This information can be queried as
