Finding AES Key

Some games will have their .pak files encrypted with an AES key.
Luckily, it's an easy task to find the AES key.

There are two methods:

• Method 1: using AESKeyFinder by GHFear
• Method 2: using the Java version Aes_Finder (backup if first doesn't work).

Getting the AES - Method 1

1. Navigate to AESKeyFinder.
2. Download as zip, by clicking on the Code dropdown and clicking on Download ZIP.
3. Once you extract the zip file, drop your game's largest executable (usually called "Gamename"-Shipping.exe) into the folder containing the scripts.
4. Launch Find_AES_Key.bat and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Within a few seconds, it will output the found AES key on the screen.

Getting the AES - Method 2

1. Download the AES_Finder.exe.
   (the tool is using Java, and requires Java Runtime to be installed)
2. Place the .exe in the same folder as the game binary executable.
   (the one with "Win64-Shipping.exe" in its name)
   (For example: ...\Ghostrunner 2\Ghostrunner2\Binaries\Win64\)
3. Launch the game and then launch the AES finder.
4. Wait a few seconds, and a new text file named key.txt will appear in that folder, which will contain the AES key.

That's it!
