SubRosaSoft's MacLockPick extracts personal info from OS X
While actually picking locks is no large task these days, cracking into one's highly encrypted information in OS X could prove problematic if the culprit had something to hide. SubRosaSoft's USB key purportedly allows "law enforcement professionals to perform live forensics on Mac OS X systems," and once the software on the included drive is ran, it automatically extracts data from the Apple Keychain and system settings to "provide the examiner fast access to the suspect's critical information with as little interaction or trace as possible." The program then compiles the details into a database and stores it back on the drive's internal memory, which can supposedly be read back on Windows, Linux, or OS X machines at base. Before the devious ones in the crowd get too excited, though, we should probably warn you that interested consumers will be forced to "provide proof that they are a licensed law enforcement professional," and even then, it will run you anywhere between $399.95 to $499.95 depending on your exact profession. But hey, we're sure you know a private investigator or police officer who can hook you up, right?[Via DragonSteelMods]
DasBoot makes iPod into a bootable drive
Jason O'Grady over at ZDNet posted about DasBoot from SubRosaSoft. (Don't you love both the name of the product and the company!?) DasBoot allows you to turn your iPod (or a spare flash drive) into an OS X bootable disk. Feed it any third-party bootable CD, like the ones shipped from Disk Warrior or Data Rescue II, and DasBoot will set up your iPod to boot and access those utilities. After all, what are you more likely to carry around in your pocket, Your Disk Warrior CD or your iPod? Best of all, DasBoot is free. Thanks SubRosaSoft!
