Yes, because Intel fucked up.

Lmao one of the posters here was right Jow Forums truly has a weird attention span. Didn't saw that in the article first time gee what a shame.

Chromium needs access to at least a few of those files, ha.

The best way to dispose of a physical drive is with a drill. Drill through about 5 times. Bonus, works with SSDs and spinning platters alike, and it's fun.

Oh I finally got something to ask! I know that it might not exactly your kind of field but is there any kind of hash to verify the integrity of hardware and the microcode it contains?
Nathan Price
Trusted computing models attempt this, but I don't know of any way of doing it myself. If there were a simple way to verify hardware and microcode, no such agency would have been found out a long time ago.
If an attacker has access to the hardware and can change the microcode or solder leads, all bets are off.
I'm just here bored listening to Megadeth while recovering from my vasectomy. Had it done today. It was like a dental root canal, but down below. Unrelated to forensics of course, but I will tell you the most secure way of living: never have kids. Stallman agrees.

Interesting. What if the attacker has a prolonged access to the device but let's say they don't want to mess with it by compromising the OS but rather to deal with hardware directly and probably installing some kind of a frimware directly on a chip? The reason I ask it is that i barely seen anyone discussing those possibilities as they seem to be way too time consuming and require a prolonged access to the device.
I'm no expert on security it's just questions of an amateur and I have one more. What are the most weirdest but at the same time very logical ways to transfer information that you know have heard of or encountered? To give you an example of what I mean I think you recall the bit in news when some folks introduced a concept of transferring binary code through the fan.

>In general, researchers demonstrated that air-gap covert channels can be realized over a number of different mediums, including:
>acoustic
>light
>seismic
>magnetic
>thermal
>radio-frequency
>physical media
Does almost every medium known to physics count?

Damn that's cool. It's one of those "it's so obvious!" things most folks don't think about.
Joseph Phillips
It's more than "It's so obvious." The reality of contemporary computer security is a validation of paranoid schizophrenics' nightmares..
