A nice summary by Bruce Schneier of products to break hard disk encryption. In a nutshell, there is a good chance that the encryption key in somewhere on your system: in memory, hibernation files, or regular files. These tools just go after the key.
In some circles (like government groups) there is a huge push to encrypt all laptop hard drives in case they are lost or stolen. I wonder what percent of these laptops are just asleep (not shutdown)? And of these, I wonder how many are susceptible to these attacks?
Breaking Hard-Disk Encryption
The newly announced ElcomSoft Forensic Disk Decryptor can decrypt BitLocker, PGP, and TrueCrypt.
