A well known hardware solution which has a good press is the "reborn
card":
http://www.reborn.com.au/about.htm
I heard a few rumours that some students were able to bypass the security
by hacking the windows registry, but I never tried it myself. I'm very
curious about any experiences people have with this kind of security. At
the moment I try to read a lot on workstation security, because it's a
rather neglected subject.
Two good books are:
Secrets of Computer Espionage: Tactics and Countermeasures
A very comprehensive book on all kinds of attack techniques.
Cyber Spying: Tracking Your Family's (Sometimes) Secret Online Lives
Some basic, but effective techniques and a few brilliant tips (like
installing a normal webserver as a backdoor, because it gives access to
all files on the PC but is not detected by virus/spyware checkers).
Minus point: a lot of rather boring text on the morals of cyber spying.
If you have more pointers to good information on "workstation hacking"
(with physical access), please post them.
