[FDE] PointSec

[jfvanmeter at comcast.net]

Thanks Ivan, and yes I have to VA and pen test both.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to mount the client side drive under Back Tracks (or any linux system) and run a directory attack to crack the password for the preboot, then dd drive?

Thanks in advance for all help and information
