Okay, correct me if I'm wrong on this (as if you wouldn't...): 1. Microsoft markets NT with C2 security 2. Numerous industry magazines report that you can bypass NTFS file security by booting off of a diskette and using NTFSDOS. 3. Numerous industry magazines (and I believe MS finally mentioned it in some routine status update) all say that NT should now be considered C2 *ONLY* on machines w/o floppy drives.
Microsoft only claim C2 security when the machine is physically secured and not attached to any network. Specifically NTFS makes no claim of any encryption and can thus be read by non-NT software. Best wishes, Matthew
