Hi all,

My friend recently wrote quite an interesting article on how they went about
solving a PlaidCTF challenge. They were given a memory dump taken from a
firewire port, and needed to reverse engineer data out of TrueCrypt without
knowing the password.

The article can be read here:

Anyone else ha funwith firewire?

I use TrueCrypt for my encrypted filesystem. It allows deniability so I have
always thought it was great--now I'm worried.

Kind regards,
