Wouldn't the inclusion of Thunderbolt (similar concept to Firewire) make that some sort of attach still possible?

- billyhoffman 13y agoThunderbolt doesn't provide raw access to DMA (and thus the ability to directly access any process's memory) the way Firewire did.
- 0x0 13y agoIt seems thunderbolt in fact DOES provide raw DMA: http://www.breaknenter.org/projects/inception/ http://www.breaknenter.org/projects/inception/ But at least on Macs, the attack is somewhat mitigated by the OS shutting off thunderbolt/firewire DMA if the screen is locked.
