Overview
The Shinobi removes unknown passwords from locked hard drives in under 2 minutes. It is a groundbreaking product for the Forensic Computer Investigation and Data Recovery Industries because it saves the need for heavy data recovery work when dealing with hard drives locked by ATA (platter level) passwords. The automatic unlock function works for all hard drives listed in our compatibility list. For other hard drive models, the Shinobi provides a Dictionary Attack/Brute Force option for PW cracking.
