The standard tool extracts the recovery password hash, but that hash is derived from a 48-digit numeric recovery password. The entropy is ~128 bits, but the key derivation is slow (up to 1 million iterations of PBKDF2-SHA256 in modern BitLocker). An "extra quality" tool does not speed up cracking; only John/Hashcat and faster hardware do.
If the drive is protected by TPM + PIN, the standard tool cannot extract a crackable hash without also dumping the TPM’s sealed key from the computer’s memory or hardware. An “extra quality” version cannot magically bypass this unless it includes a different attack vector (e.g., brute-forcing the PIN against a captured TPM communication log). That is a separate tool.
Let’s assume “extra quality” refers to genuine enhancements. What would a better bitlocker2john actually look like? We can examine the current limitations of the standard bitlocker2john (version 1.9.0+).
