Many years ago, I got a contract from a Certain Company What Made Chips And Stuff to test a "proof of concept" antiviral system they had built on top of the new system management chip they were promoting at the time. I was able to subvert it fairly easily using techniques that viruses were using at the time. (They welched on the contract, so you can actually read my review :-) At CanSecWest, we've just had a presentation from a couple of guys who did the same type of thing. Apparently they have had a reasonably pro-active response from Intel, so the World May Yet Be Saved. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones that ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds. - John Maynard Keynes http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
