a) Why do I have the feeling that there is no way to tell which password a piece of software is asking for when you thumb it. Does the host machine get all of them and figure out which one it wants to use? b) How hard is it to bypass the check and simply pull the complete set of passwords out of it's memory. My guess it "not too fucking hard." At $50 a piece, they can't have spent too much (if any) on tamper-resitance, security review, etc. Anyone know how much cheap thumb scanner hardware goes for in bulk these days? -Jack On Fri, May 21, 2004 at 03:26:15PM -0400, R.
