Re: Gain root access on linux servers with physical access

Just my $0.02.

Would YOU trust any code a blackmailer wrote? Personally, I would call
the police and let them deal with extortion charges, then I would
low-level format every box that these people have touched, cut my losses
and try it again.

If they are blackmailing now, what's to say they also didn't install a
trojan, back door or logic bomb to get more money later?

there is a small charge for it as well. I would think it would be a

hassle but they are happy to do it (the two times I have had to).
They
even had a test bench they let me use for moving drives around and
testing the configuration. But as with everything, YMMV.
