be pretty obvious, and you would want to change YBDB's htpasswd and root password. However, if you
be pretty obvious, and you would want to change YBDB's htpasswd and root password for the computer. However, if you
want to "help" prevent a detached drive from being accessed, utilitizing an encrypted partition or file container,
for the keepass2 system discussed above, would be one way to go, although, even that can be accessed with a few steps,
and some forensics (https://dfir.science/2014/08/how-to-brute-forcing-password-cracking.html). While most modern
