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

Getting the AES - Method 1

  1. Navigate to AESDumpster (web-based & fast).
  2. Drag and drop the game's binary exe into the website (usually called "GameName-Win64-Shipping.exe").
  3. Within a few seconds, it will output the found AES key on the screen (if any).

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!
