Let's say the computer is off. You can turn it on, but that gets you
to a login screen. What can the Firewire device do? OK, I guess I misunderstood the original paper (http://www.sec-consult.com/fileadmin/Whitepapers/Vista_Physical_Attacks .pdf). It now looks to me like they are claiming they can disable password authentication *even while the system is not logged on* - do I have that right?
