Is it possible to mount/read data from a hdd over firewire that is not booted into 'target' mode?

My scenario

  • cMBP 1
  • cMBP 2 (target) this machine is fully encrypted without a efi password.

I know i can reboot the (target) machine into target mode but since this machine is encrypted i can't read/write from the target machine without authenticate . But this machine is still turned on and "just" locked with the screensaver password.

Can this be done?
