Has anyone here ever used kon-boot? I guess it may work because of the few blog posts about it but I feel kinda concerned and am interested at hearing experiences from anyone who have used multiple times with no side effects.

I am slightly worried for any direct memory altering it tries to do.

I am also worried if this will do its job fine to hide the fact it puts in a low level trojan or if the author planned to do anything like that in a future release as it looks like closed source from the site.

Also I don't intend to gain illegal access but I find these sort of things very useful for my box of live discs I take every where, just in case.

OT: Other question that me be of interest to readers here
