You're assuming that the drive is going to be booted off of, instead of
copied and analized. If I just have a binary image of a drive, I can grep
for n entropy of l bits (l being a hash of say 40, 128...4096) in length,
yielding all potential keypairs on the volume. This requires no login.
They can even just slave the drive in another machine specifically
designed to do this.
might only take a half hour or less.
