Between a failed hard drive several months ago, and a more recent cooling fan issue that required multiple teardowns of the entire machine and an eventual replacement of the motherboard, everything on this laptop has been pulled 8 or 10 times. So my prints and tool marks from screwdrivers are *all* over it - wouldn't take much at all to pop that one screw holding the drive in without adding noticably to the markings already there....
Yeah I didnt think that one through. You wouldnt even need to remove the HDD, just boot off a linux ISO and then DD the laptops hdd to a usb hard drive you inserted for that purpose. -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
