So I read an article on slashdot about how two hackers at the Hack in the Box convention in Dubai demonstrated how it is possible to compromise the OS due to a security flaw in the design….the flaw is that the OS trust that the boot process is safe. Now this may sound potentially groundbreaking, but I assure you it is not. The catch is that you have to have physical access to the machine. What the hell is the point in that?! If you had physical access to the machine, then the machine is compromised already anyways. Also, if you had access to the machine, no matter the OS, you could install whatever code you wanted on it…why the need for the boot code? What a waste of freakin’ time.
Further Down the Rabbit Hole
