Question: Say we have a dm/LUKS encrypted partition or harddisk. - Do we have a crack-password-delay-mechanism as a part of the encryption, or is this a feature of the software of the OS? I I have understood that with the very rapid crackingspeed (brute-force) we have nowadays, the new approach to this is to force in a delay for each password enter, as a tool of increased security. Is this feature a block independent software, or is it only a software program of the booted OS? If so, attacking the harddisk directly independent of the booted OS will pass this feature. (Have I made myself clear?) -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
