[Dataloss] (article) "We recovered the laptop!" ... so what?

[Herve Roggero]

Hi everyone

This thead is very interesting. All techniques so far deal with reading data at a low level. Will Windows Vista prevent techniques such as Symantec Ghost? I understand that Vista performs bit-level encryption with its BitLocker technology.

Thanks.

Or boot up on a Symantec Ghost boot disk, then blast the data over to a
network drive or a connected USB drive.

You don't even have to mess with mirroring it. You can create a Linux
boot 
disk, specifically set up with scripts that search for juicy data, and 
then upload them to your server over Wi-Fi. On a fairly new laptop, you 
should have data (if there's any data to be had) within 30 minutes.
You'll 
be done in an hour or two unless there is a huge amount of data you want

to grab.

And because you are mounting the Fat32 or NTFS volume read-only, no
