This might help with full disc encryption: - http://16s.us/OpenBSD/softraid.txt - man softraid - man bioctl Obviously, windows can't read anything. I can, of course, write, or delete you data. The best penetration testing is though two physical computers, to better simulate real conditions. OpenBSD doesn't run properly on VirtualBox (it does install on the latest version), and I belive virtualization is not really supported. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
