I use PGP Desktop 9.10 full disk encryption on a Windows XP SP3 laptop and it did not work because I got the PGP prompt to unlock the disk after the initial KonBoot splash screen. I entered my PGP password to continue the boot process, but I had to enter my actual Windows credentials at the Windows login screen to successfully log in, so no go even if someone knows the PGP password. I also have an Ubuntu 9.10 laptop running disk encryption and the result was just like the PGP result. I successfully got it to work on a Debian system (VMware guest), but not my Fedora Core system (again VMWare guest). Very sweet tool. I showed all the guys at work and they loved it. Tomorrow we are going to see if it will work with an Active Directory account. I have only tested with local accounts. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 9:16 PM, mOses<trklisted at networksamurai.org> wrote:
Just wanted to put my 2 cents on testing for everyone on the list interested. Kon-Boot on a Windows XP SP3 box w/ TrueCrypt WDE (FDE) did not work. Gave me an error about the BIOS being to big and that it wanted me to change the motherboard(?) Kon-Boot on a Windows Vista Business running PointSec for PC (server/ client edition) with Windows Integrated Login (which I don't enjoy having) did not work either. Dies right before the OS loads. Irongeek USB Boot did not work at all on that box it hung at a place before that (loading the Pointsec system). Anyone else try with Bitlocker or another type of FDE/WDE like PGP enterprise? I think the author can fix these issues or if he opens the source someone else may do it, although it was all written in TASM32 so probably only those who remember what TSR programs were can do it :) _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
