Just too freaking cool

[mapes]

correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't vista business & ultimate run bitlocker by default? i've used the CD rom with a linux distro for "recovering 'lost' passwords", but, it seems the once the actual drive is encrypted, noting short of actually booting vista would unencrypt it.

i remember back in the day using a Pgp script to decrypt/encrypt a majority of the HD prior to windows booting. that was fun. time consuming, but fun.



BTW, for anyone not having read this, its great for a good laugh, but also very true.

but, can anyone dispute the fact that after installing ANY version of windows, they violate one of these laws?

The point here with the firewire hack is you don't have to reboot the machine. Y Since the box is already up and now you have root or admin on the running box you can copy the passwd file or the registry hive files to where ever you want to for later brute forcing.
