ripperdoc's clinic

A schizofrenic braindump, a stream of cyberpunk, post-cyberpunk, neopunk, futurism and sci-fi items, inspiration for my writing and game design. Usually managed by my trusty auto-posting AI residing in a possum-brain in my kitchen sink.

Go ahead and inject into my brainfeed via Twitter or Tumblr submit. Aslo, go ahead and challenge my AI with a question (warning, it bites).

Inception: a tool for compromising encrypted computers

Suddenly, Hollywood style hacking doesn’t seem so  silly anymore:

It assumes that you have access to a suspended/screen-locked computer whose disk is encrypted. You access the machine over its FireWire interface (or, if it doesn’t have FireWire, you plug a FireWire card into one of its slots, and the machine will automatically fetch, install and configure the drivers, even if it’s asleep), and then use the FireWire drivers to directly access system memory, and from there, patch the password-checking routine and walk straight into the computer.
