That was exactly my problem. Also, the consultant they sent to help us with it didn't know anything about Linux when they knew that was our platform.

I'd love to get hold of one of my old units from that vendor and try to attack it. I assume it hasn't been done as they're so expensive. It's basically the ultimate in security through obscurity, as it's too expensive to get one you're prepared to break.

We have a bunch of HSMs and we had to sign a quazillion pages which at least deny us and anyone we hire or ask from trying to temper with the machines. Also most of them you cannot buy; they remain owned by the vendor.
