Abstract
Many security professionals look to software on hardrives as the source of compromise. To detect compromises, they use systems to check the hashes of all files on disk, When a machine is compromised, they wipe the hardrive, and assume that the machine in clean. The battlefield between attackers and defenders is moving to the firmware level. This presentation will explore what firmware exists in your computer and how the fight for your systems will be below your operating system and what can be done about this.About the Speaker
