Making Security a Common Sense

Adam Boileau, a security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the need for a password.

Adam uses firewire port (IEEE 1394) to gain a read/write access of the RAM of a locked and password protected computer.

To use the tool, hackers must connect a Linux-based computer to a Firewire port on the target machine. The machine is then tricked into allowing the attacking computer to have read and write access to its memory.
