They don't need to. Microsoft and other companies have been providing software on bootable CDs and USB keys to do quick 'security' audits of PCs for years to various police forces. I'd be extremely surprised if detecting encrypted/hidden partitions wasn't a common feature.
- VMG 15y agoit would be very useful to know exactly what tools and techniques the border agents are using. Is there software that detect HDDs that are disabled via BIOS? Do the border agents reset the BIOS? Are they looking at individual files and encrypted archives?
- lunarscape 15y agoI don't know the capabilities. I'm sure the best ones are kept secret obviously. One MS tool was leaked online but turned out to be nothing special: http://www.microsoft.com/industry/government/solutions/cofee/default.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/industry/government/solutions/cofee...
