I'm new to this website, was shown this by a friend when I had asked for help while researching.
Just a brief story, when my laptop got an operating system error a friend came over to repair it for, him being one of the more tech knowledgeable friend's I have. He had showed me something he had done to test his own security on his computers, he plugged a flash drive into my computer and started it up; it bypassed my password log on screen.
And on to my question. What would it take to run something like that? I'm not sure if it was a brute force attack or a dictionary attack or in what manner it was "mounted" or "coded" to autorun upon plugin? I started reading up on a few threads about this and different programs for password cracking (much of what I had learned and taken in college).
anyways, thanks. I'm going back to reading more.
