I would rather spend $12 on the USB sled than numerous hundreds of dollars on the vogon forsenic device. There are other distinct differences between the two (although I admit that it claims to work 100 percent of the time, and I know my method won't, but I never stated that it did... I said it would if the checksum were stored, but unfortunately I guess it isn't. It is still a valid construct for a dictionary attack).
Its a matter of preference. My personal purpose for the USB sled is hard drive reclamation from the locked state, not DR or forsenic recovery. I want functioning drives, not data.
Most here will use their PC-3000 or whatever for DR, but the USB sled and a good short dictionary might save the hassle if their code unlocked the drive only, with no SECURITY ERASE. Write the code to beep and display the password if it finds it, rather than erasing the drive. If the easy quick fully automatic way with the USB sled fails, then the more labor and time consuming PC-3000 can be used.
Most people don't choose 12342kjg234&&ASdj as a password, they choose pandora or fluffy.
So which is faster and easier, to search for and utilize the right files for the PC-3000 and fire that up and manually hunt around the SA, or to first try slapping the drive into a USB sled and clicking a (Search) button or hitting a key on a keyboard? When they return two hours later from repairing some other drive, they will find if it found the password or not. If it didn't, they lost nothing,and they proceed to fire up the PC-3000. If it did, they saved an hour or two of their valuable time.
A lot of users here have a PC-3000, but that doesn't mean they want to spend more hundreds or thousands on the vogon if they can avoid it, and time is money. Quick, easy and cheap is good. Slow, involved, and expensive is not. What exactly does the vogon do that the PC-3000 can't? It doesn't appear to equal the PC-3000, let alone surpass it.
So, what is your fascination with forsenic equipment rather than the PC-3000? An investigator for the FBI perhaps. Perhaps you will inspect my anus next. If Klingon food is too much for you, perhaps we can get one of the females to breast-feed you. You must be a vogon salesman.
For what I want to use it for, I would rather spend $12 on the USB sled than numerous hundreds of dollars on the vogon forsenic device.
Notice how the image of the vogon device clearly shows an external power cable, if that was the flawed angle that was supposed to constitute your weak and mistaken excuse for argument...
