Hack into a Windows PC ..or a MAC!- no password needed

Enjoy!

Interviewed in ITRadio's Risky Business podcast, Boileau said the tool, released to the public today, could "unlock locked Windows machines or login without a password ... merely by plugging in your Firewire cable and running a command".

A what?

From Engadget!

Update: Apparently this has been demonstrated on OS X as well -- it looks like Firewire's direct memory access is the common vector here.

Mac is not all that secure either. It is from specific viruses on the web...but not direct hacking or breaking and entering via physical access!

"If you have a Firewire port, disable it when you aren't using it," Ducklin said.

"That way, if someone does plug into your port unexpectedly, your side of the Firewire link is dead, so they can't interact with your PC, legitimately or otherwise."
