inaccuracy - *GRUB2 is capable of decrypting LUKS partitions without a Linux kernel* . on systems with that configuration, only GRUB2 itself must be in an unencrypted partition.
otherwise good explanation except that you did not mention that *the correct solution to this problem is Fully Open Source Hardware which makes the schematics and HDL files and firmware source code of the entire device completely visible* and there are multiple examples of companies selling fully functional open source hardware complete systems
- Texas Instruments
- RaptorCS

[@tacokoneko]

on open source hardware systems like Texas Instruments BeagleBone and RaptorCS Talos II and also other open source firmware systems that aren't open source hardware, like libreboot, it is *typical for GRUB2 or other bootloader to be preinstalled into the firmware itself* making full disk encryption easy and requiring any attacker to get _physical access to reflashing the firmware chip_ in order to install malware

nice dude, I really learned a lot, thank you,
my solution now is using SecureBoot and HP "Wolf Security"🤦‍♂BIOS lock, cause it has a picture of wolf on it, that means it's safe right? It really instills a lot of confurdence...

Blinking port may also be broadcast packets like ARP. Also the switch sends every packet whose destination MAC-port binding is unknown out as broadcast. The binding is stored in a table that has a timeout, say 1 minute for example.

i would love to sit on your beadroom floor and listen to you explain computers all day.

[@john_swanson]

The most secure way is to don't use computers

[@mr.christopher79]

blink if you are in danger

[@Furfire]

Hardware it's indeed compromised at almost every level, has been since like the pentium 2 processor. There's a reason batteries in phones are no longer removable and ALL OF THEM HAVE A CAMERA ON THE FRONT, ALL OF THEM.
Also i fucking love your wojacks

This is my favorite video ever. This is the content I have missed for years. I think you have nailed it though. RIP to king terry, long live SchizoLab. I hope you are indeed okay however, if you need someone to talk to let me know.

thats why I only use custom made sbc's with a custom u-boot image and a buildroot made fs so I can know what goes on

[@tikkasen_urakointi]

Also they are intentionally obfuscating things to the user by calling the firmware a "BIOS" regardless of what type of firmware is actually on the ROM chip. I doubt that HP firmware has any IBM PC compatible Basic Input/Output System interrupt calls implemented in it. Probably it also cannot boot at all if there is no GPT partition table and a FAT32 filesystem on the boot disk.

[@tacokoneko]

it's called "CSM" yes it has it

[@tikkasen_urakointi]

@@tacokoneko It does? Good if that's true. UEFI is malware.

May i ask why you room looks like that?

[@Furfire]

My guess is a mix of high intelligence, depression, lack of caring for appearances. You know, typical programmer shit

[@dash8518]

these videos are really cool but why are they all in t*kt*k format..

[@ydaak]

Interesting indeed

[@MrStifleras]

Thanks for posting!
For us brainlets, is there an way to avoid all the spying? It seems that linux is not changing that much because of intel chips - amd chips - bios and the rest of the tricks. Is there even a way anymore?

[@tacokoneko]

Purchase a RAPTOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS TALOS II that is the easy way

[@MrStifleras]

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!!

Hey bro r u a follower of Terry Davis?
