I wonder if you misunderstand, perhaps...

I have a linux laptop with data you shouldn't access. You may assume it's
sensibly configured (secure boot, luks, etc, but standard hardware, no
epoxy). Can you explain to me how you would evade its security? I'm not
interested in how I could misconfigure it, because I'm not worried about
attacks by myself. Assuming I configured it sensibly, how would you either
access the data or install password-sniffing software?
