Hello list! I'm doing a physical pentest of the blackbox network security device and need your help in it :).
I'm assuming that you can't open the box... if F2 doesn't work, you can try DEL or some other special keys- not all BIOS uses F2... you can also try facerolling the keyboard. By that, I mean just mashing as many keys at once repeatedly while it's POSTing. You may either annoy it enough that it does something new, it it thinks there is a keyboard error and will halt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review Board Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
