The vendor was CORE security, makers of the infinitely cool and infinitely priced CORE impact. It used the Hak5 USB switchblade on a sandisk u3 drive. It only took about 30 seconds to dump the cached credentials. I have since deleted all of the files retrieved and what was publically displayed had only the first couple letters of the password visible, the rest were starred out (I'm not a complete jerk :) ) I just did it because I was bored and I wanted to find out if a company selling that high end a product would have hardened their laptops against the USB switchblade Drop me a line if you need more info.
