Dear experts,
&nbs= p;  I had a 500GB hard disk which was encrypted using the following sp= ecification.

type:    LUK= S1
cipher:  aes= -xts-plain64
keysize= : 512 bits
device: &= nbsp;/dev/sda5
offse= t:  4096 sectors
size:    999708672 sectors
mode:    read/write

Pass phrase is known.

Unfortunately= , the hard disk crashed sometime back. It is a hardware fault. There was no= backup.

A = data recovery agency managed to recover 50% of the sectors. However it is u= nable to recover any data as the original disk was encrypted.

So now trying to figure = out how to de-crypt and recover some of the data?

I'll be extremely grateful if you c= an provide some answer. Thanks in advance.
