He also explained that the technique works against computers running Linux, Mac OS X, and BSD Unix ...

Interviewed in ITRadio's podcast, Boileau said the tool, released to the public today, could "unlock locked Windows machines or login without a password ... merely by plugging in your Firewire cable and running a command". Boileau, a consultant with Immunity Inc., said he did not release the tool publicly in 2006 because "Microsoft was a little cagey about exactly whether Firewire memory access was a real security issue or not and we didn't want to cause any real trouble" ... To use the tool,... (Sydney Morning Herald)

One major new feature is Time Machine, an automated back-up system that copies files to a USB or FireWire storage device (as a rule of thumb you will want an external drive at least twice as big as your computer's hard drive, although you can configure Time Machine to only back up specific folders).
