Even if they are AES 256, they'll still get cracked...The CIA and FBI have been strolling straight thru AES 256 for...well about a week after it got Popular....They have the best Hackers because once they catch them, they offer them a deal.....Work for US Govt or go to prison for 25+ years....
If I understand correctly, the Voter Machs have some version or parts of Windows installed...This alone creates a back door which should be easy to access and should give access to the SAM Fie under Config....
The Cyber Ninjas should already have some small but powerful program that goes in a back door, pulls the SAM File, runs a decode, and pulls out the actual Admin PW....Simple, easy, fast.....For all we know, they already have or had it, long before asking for it....
No they won't, but Mom didn't drop 60K on something like Alienware either...
Running a Quad Core top of the line Cores, with like 120 Gigs of RAM, on a two Terrabyte SDD or bigger, with TerraFlop capabilities....and then the Operating System????
I'm guessing these guys DO CODE, so they'll be using something crazy, like a Linux Flavor, personally adjusted to their own personal specs, or maybe FreeOS/BSD, or maybe even Unix.......
It ALL gets very exciting, once you consider the possibilities........
Not real computer savvy but if they hack the password would that be a crime? What I really want to know is are they going to have to waste a bunch of time arguing in court to get the password legally?
If Dominion goes 100% Full Retard, and has to be ordered by a Court to turn it over, and then still refuses, then Dominion Reps get arrested, and all their things get searched until the PW is found....if it is then Not Found, it becomes yet a couple more Charges against Dominion, and Cyber Ninjas gets to do their Hacking, which I believe has ALREADY happened.....
I doubt anyone will take it this far, but maybe, with some Luck on our side.....
Sure would be fun to hear that All Dominion Employees in the States are in Jail...

This was a Canadian company. Our stuff isn't as good ss US usually. Plus it was designed to be exploited. I would guess its hackable.
There is no such thing as an Unhackable Operating System, except the one that is stand Alone, and cannot be reached by anyone.....Literally.....
The strongest passwords are stupid long. Like let's say they used:
"WeWillStealThe2020ElectionForBiden!!"
Easy to remember but damn near impossible to brute force as that password has 6.8e+130 combinations. You're not breaking that on mom's computer.
I use either long phases (my account), random 24 characters strings (system accounts), or password cards for shared accounts.
