Hello, In the light of recent discussions about firewire / DMA hacks, we would like to throw in some of the results of our past research on this topic (done mainly by Peter Panholzer) in the form of a short whitepaper. In this paper, we demonstrate that the firewire unlock attack (as implemented in Adam Boileau´s winlockpwn) can be used against Windows Vista. The paper is available at: http://www.sec-consult.com/fileadmin/Whitepapers/Vista_Physical_Attacks.pdf Best regards, Bernhard -- _________________________________________ Bernhard Mueller Security Consultant SEC Consult Unternehmensberatung GmbH www.sec-consult.com A-1190 Vienna, Mooslackengasse 17 phone +43 1 8903043 34 fax +43 1 8903043 15 mobile +43 676 840301 718 email b.mueller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Firmenbuch Wiener Neustadt: 227896t, UID: ATU56165223 Firmensitz: Prof. Dr. Stephan Korenstraße 10, A-2700 Wiener Neustadt Advisor for your information security.
