SubRosaSoft has just released a new product called the MacLockPick,
which does just what the name implies?extracts user passwords, logins
for different Apple applications, website history and passwords to
different visited sites and more.

MacLockPick is a valuable tool for law enforcement professionals to
perform live forensics on Mac OS X systems. The solution is based on a
USB Flash drive that can be inserted into a suspect's Mac OS X computer
that is running (or sleeping). Once the software is run it will extract
data from the Apple Keychain and system settings in order to provide
the examiner fast access to the suspect's critical information with as
little interaction or trace as possible.

This device extracts 24 different points of data from the OS X system,
including OS login for the current user to recently used applications,
drive mounts, email and instant messaging info, WiFi connections, the
iPods you own, and all your internet browsing history.

MacLockPick sells for $500 (civilians), or for $450 (state / local
police) and $400 (feds) when purchasing in bulk.
