Hi there, I've stumbled on this article. I wonder if this is applicable to FreeBSD. Would it still be possible to exploit it without a firewire driver? http://www.dailytech.com/Lock+Your+Workstations+Or+Not+New+Tool+Bypasses+Windows+Logon/article10972.htm « The tool is a simple, 200-line script written in the Python programming language exploits features built into Firewire that allow direct access to a computer's memory. By targeting specific places that Windows consistently stores its vital authentication functions, Boileau's tool is able to overwrite Windows' secured code with patches that skip Windows' password check entirely. » Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jlehen at clesys dot fr >
