MacLockPick: Password Cracker To Go
Author: Dave Lewis
Well, we have seen this type of technology for the Windows platform in the guise of such tools as NT Passwd. If SubRosa would like to send us a demo we would gladly review it for them (no, we’re not in law enforcement).
MacLockPick is not for sale to the general public — it’s been made specifically for law enforcement professionals. Based on a USB flash drive, the software extracts data from the Apple Keychain and system settings. A database of the suspect computer’s information is compiled on the flash drive as well, which can be read by log readers on Macs or other systems.
MacLockPick can extract a user password, passwords for encrypted disk images, Wi-Fi base stations, iTunes Store, iChat, Apple Remote Desktop, login and password details for Web sites, e-mail accounts, peer to peer networks, online services, auction sites and .Mac accounts, AppleShare and more. It can also provide information on files and folders on the target system, instant messaging account information, Web history, recently used applications and hardware preferences.
A handy tool at first glance. Who wants to start a pool on the length of time it will take before this is roaming free in the wilds of the interweb?
