Firewire vulnerability applicable on FreeBSD?

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi there,

I've stumbled on this article.  I wonder if this is applicable to
FreeBSD.  Would it still be possible to exploit it without a firewire
driver?

« The tool is a simple, 200-line script written in the Python
programming language exploits features built into Firewire that allow
direct access to a computer's memory.  By targeting specific places that
Windows consistently stores its vital authentication functions,
Boileau's tool is able to overwrite Windows' secured code with patches
that skip Windows' password check entirely. »
