Defective Public Attacks on The Secure Boot Key Windows Devices: Report



And leak, Microsoft's horribly wrong. of the company to resolve the confusion to scramble. Microsoft, you can unlock the mobile phone that is protected by Windows-based PCs, tablets, and secure boot 'golden key' leaked unwittingly.


All of the components of the boot processes for the devices is validated by checking for secure boot, some Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), protection for beginners, and was signed by Microsoft. This is on other operating systems (non-malicious or malicious) attackers or users want to install in the protection system since it started. Once a secure boot enabled are verified by Microsoft and by policy is loaded and run on Windows startup process cannot be disabled users.


Microsoft, however, allowed an exception rule because it has become a nightmare for the company. Signed a special secure boot policy to disable the operating system check because you want to test the operating system without having to register each one major high-tech companies, developers, new. This policy is essentially a standard check bypass.


Not surprisingly, a special policy is available to commercial products. However, it is online-now used to exploit an attacker has been leaked. While installing the road and trick people to believe in this 'Golden keys' - this is inherently secure boot-enabled Windows system enable backdoor - Windows firmware, Microsoft is actually a malicious one curious person, self loading a valid verified operating system also signed binaries might find. In a nutshell, is the golden key to secure boot unlock free bootkits gives the attacker as well as with Access to the installation of the rootkit.


Security researchersmy123 (@never_released), ranged from warning to Microsoft vulnerabilities slip stream (@TheWack0lian) Windows machine product leakage. Ignore the problem after months researchers and Microsoft bugs prize created two publishing (1 July and August another) patch. The second patch is claimed to remove access to the Boot Manager only solution while leaving the flawed policies of certain system vulnerability.


The third patch is coming out in September, and is expected. But not completely fixing the vulnerability researchers believe. You can do until the third patch is only user to protect their systems, Microsoft patch for all devices in Windows that date.


Golden key leakage safety can render the cell phones and computers, and easy-to-hack and signal devices such as Backdoor entry needs put into question is one big threat. To this effect, the slipstream, the statement announced the FBI is one of the researchers.


"FBI: about, or are reading this? if this backdooring cryptographic key gold secure your perfect real world example for the very bad idea because! to those wiser than me saying it seems to be long, so it is your fingers in your ears. You seriously don't understand yet? Microsoft implemented the 'safe gold key' system. When released from the stupidity of the MS itself got a golden key. Now, if you tell everyone to make 'safe gold key' system? "
