Bitlocker still useful for what 99% of users expect
honeymonster 7th Dec 2009
This attack involves installing malicious boot code to
snoop on the bitlocker password while faking a boot.
The attack will not be successfuk unless all of the
following holds true:

1) The attacker must gain physical access to the
machine without leaving traces which could make the
rightful user suspicious

2) The machine must allow boot from an alternate
device

3) The rightful user must then use the compromised
machine and enter the bitlocker password (which is
then recorded in a private section of the disk)

4) The attacker must then AGAIN gain access to the
machine. Not it can be stolen and the password (and
thus the data) can be retrieved.
