MacLockPick Gets Private Data from Mac OS X |
A company out of California called SubRosaSoft has just released a new product called the MacLockPick, and it does just what the name implies. The device is able to extract OS user passwords, logins for different Apple applications, website history and passwords to different visited sites and more.
The MacLockPick software is installed onto a USB flash drive that when inserted into the USB drive of a computer running Mac OS X, it will start extracting all the private data off of the computer and save it to the USB drive in an organized little database. The owner of the MacLockPick can then take the data pack to their own computer running OS X, Windows or Linux and read the data.
This little “live forensics” intended device can get 24 different points of data from the OS X system, including everything from the operating system login for the current user to recently used applications, drive mounts, email and instant messaging info, WiFi connections, the iPods you own, and all your internet browsing history.
Does this have you nervous yet? Well, fortunately the MacLockPick is not available for sale to everyone, and you have physically plug it into the computer for it to work. The forensic tool is intended for law enforcement use only and will only be sold to law enforcement officials. The base price for a licensed investigator is $499.95, and the price goes down slightly the further up the government ladder you go. State and local law enforcement can get $50 off the base price, and feds can get $100 off when the by 5 or more.
If you are a qualified individual and are able to provide proof, you can purchase the MacLockPick through the SubRosaSoft website.
