Vogon uncovers a little cracker

Password crackers

Computer and data security

Vogon international has launched a Password Cracker that will help forensic investigators in their fight against crime and global terrorism. The Password Cracker is also being offered as a service at the company’s laboratories for bona fide organisations).

The Password Cracker identifies and removes passwords from platter-locked hard drives used in laptop computers, and will be a major timesaver in the field of covert investigation work.

In use, the Password Cracker attaches via the target drive’s own interface, using a small database to retain the captured password while the drive is accessed. After the disk has been imaged, the original passwords may then be replaced in an evidentially sound manner in order to return the hard drive to its original condition. This procedure can be completed without having to alert the computer user that a password has been by-passed.

The Password Cracker is provided as an add-on hardware module to Vogon’s VBus system.
