I have plenty of freeware, open source and legal tools to do the same. Keep in mind I require the consent of the owner, and proof that they own the computer. There are plenty of people outside of the gizmodo bubble that throw away the sheet of paper with all of the passwords they have on it and can't access any of their accounts let alone, their PC. Never under estimate stupidity and lazy ness. Tools like COFEE aren't new or illegal, just cofee itself is because the EULA for it is only for law enforcement. #microsoft
Also, why didn't Microsoft just take a page out of the hackers' books?
U3/USB Switchblade does a LOT more than this dinky little COFEE can.
Such as dump useful info and not network statistics and running processes. Y'know, like IM passwords (being able to see their list of criminal friends), email account information, and so on. And it's fully customizable.
Might I mention the fact that if they gather this info when the machine was on at the scene of the crime and they shut it down, what happens if the password is unknown? This also grabs password hashes for the logon so the investigators can brute-force their way in, if need be. #microsoft
Holy hell, best way to do it is Linux: shut down the machine, freeze the RAM, stick it in another machine and dump it (so memory etc is preserved), and then DD the drive to read-only image. There's the evidence you need, people.
ALSO: If you somehow 'obtain' a copy of COFEE, look towards the back where they show the log from a machine in IE - the file is in a folder called "Who Cares".
@met2art: What a bold sense of humor you have, met. Dripping with punny wit! I gotta say, I like darker jokes, myself. Alas, these days, that's a rather tall order. #microsoft
Well, if it's anything like the stickers on a linksys router, careful use of a DE safety razor blade can remove it intact. As someone who pulls the thread out of money, I know what I'm talking about. #xbox360warrantysticker
Though I would drop in to comment on a few things. For all those new to flashing a new rom, there are a few things to be careful of even though you now have root access.
1st Its a good idea to have some sort of access to your SD card in your phone OTHER then the USB teathered method. This should not be TOO big of a deal today as most PCs have a Card reader built into them.
2nd SD cards themselves can make a big difference in performance. While it is possible to run apps off of the card that came with your G1/MyTouch its not really suggested. Most users have a Class 6 sdcard. Any of the the following from newegg should work very well : [tinyurl.com]
3rd Make sure the rom you download supports your SPL and Radio. ***You can end up with a non booting phone if you dont have the right SPL and a crappy connecting phone if you dont have the right Radio. Look on your phone in SETTINGS> ABOUT PHONE >Baseband Version. This number will tell you what radio you have install on your phone. Also if the ROM you are downloading states that it needs any type of special SPL, then I would suggest going with another ROM till you become a little more familiar with flashing. Cyanogens ROMs are a good place to start as they do not need a special SPL installed. As for the Radio if you have version62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I you should be fine.
4th While I feel that Cyan Roms get the most attention and to some degree deservingly so. The most stable ROM in my opinion as of late is the JACxRom which can be found here: [forum.xda-developers.com] In truth this doesnt matter as most people in the community cant seem to keep the same rom on their phone for more then a few weeks, if that. So once you get use to flashing and what it involves, feel free to play with a few of the roms to find the one that works best for you. Also if you have a question about anything make sure to post it in this forum. [forum.xda-developers.com]
I really like that little events notice on the front page. I wish my iPhone had that. Like a little area for text alerts that stays on the main page all day instead of the silly calendar alerts that ring/vibrate then go away.
Did this last week, and RyeBryes app is the way to go. The other option will make you want to kill yourself.
Cyanogen 4.01 is excellent. The MT3G does not have as much RAM as the Hero, so running a Hero ROM can be problematic.
Apps to SD is not a big draw on the MT3G since it has ample on-bard storage for apps compared to the G1, and using APPS2SD can result in some compatability issues.
YMMV, but perf is noticably superior on the new ROM.
