Yeah, you're right. I would like to know how they decrypted the drive though. "Substantial resources" does not say much. It could mean a lot of computing power, or just a lot of brute-force sleuthing to find the backdoor. What exactly should a third-party frame-up look like?
In my mind, at least, how they came to be able to decrypt the drive could possibly lend some credibility to their claim that he owned it and was in control of it, and the remaining drives as well.
- rosser 13y agoTotally guessing, but the password is probably the weak point.
- yebyen 13y agoI would have guessed otherwise, if this guy is an IT pro, he probably knows to use a long and secure passphrase. I'll be surprised if someone who knows can say the password was the weak point. Maybe you're right, but... I'd think the most likely way to get in would be to find the passphrase had been cached somewhere, or the unencrypted key was accidentally copied somewhere onto a swap file from some shoddily built backup process that used up most of the RAM compressing files, resulting in that or some similar leak. Same as you though, I don't really have the slightest idea.
