Exclamation You've encrypted data on your SD card?

Think your encrypted (Micro and Mini) SD card is safe from hacking? Think again!

The Crowbar… looks like a rugged diagnostic tool but is actually a brute force cracking tool that can shred passwords surprisingly quickly. It’s so dangerous that the company only sells it to law enforcement officers and the military.

"...The Crowbar is both powerful and subtle. You can use it to crack security on a handheld device without alerting the owner that the device’s security has been compromised. The Crowbar also stores log-in information for the cracked handheld, so anytime you need to access the hacked device again, you can without going through the entire brute force process again, unless the user changes the password..."
