So lets pose a problem, you have a computer with encrypted HDD and you cant reboot the PC. Or a comptuer has something worth getting in memory (encryption key) and you want it. But the computer is locked. well you can now hack this.
winlockpwn - tool to connect to windows with firewire and inject a dll hack into memory to bypass passwords on the "windows lock screen" and allow you access to windows with no password when locked.
if your not a linux power user, or just want to cheat here is a
setup quide and if you use backtrack here is a
post about it.
So a lot of people say it works, I agree that it will - it uses dll hacking for passwords, you can
do this with the computer powered off or just hack itso what did I get, nothing...
i get this error
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
from firewire.py, line 693: "If a node doesn't feel like fulfilling a request, it will raise an IOError."
now if you unplug the fw and plug it back in repeatedly running the
script it will start scanning memory only to end with a device busy
seems that the "money time" is when the device is detected as a "Hard
Drive" you start scanning the memory at that point. then the ipod comes
in and all work ends
same issue on two computers
but who's to say Im just odd.
UPDATE: May22
I got it to work, who knows if I was sleepy or a reboot fixed it. But when I powered up. Started from "step 5" and followed steps exactly.
Dell630 fully patched on the domain and it worked! I had full access as advertised.
something I noticed was that this morning businfo has 1 on the node 0 and not 0 for all the data it spits out on what will and wont work.
