Microsoft has accidentally leaked the Secret keys that allow hackers to unlock devices protected by UEFI >It will be impossible for Microsoft to undo its leak. >it is impossible for Microsoft to fully revoke the leaked keys, potentially giving law enforcement (such as FBI and NSA) special backdoor that can be used to unlock Windows-powered devices in criminal cases. >a backdoor, which MS put into secure boot because they decided to not let the user turn it off in certain devices, allows for secure boot to be disabled everywhere!
Wincuckolds and pajeet shills should be banished from Sup Forums
The only thing secure boot does is prevent unsigned OSes from running. The option could be disabled in the UEFI previously at least on laptops and desktops but now with this leak it can also be defeated even if it's not disabled. This is kinda a win but also a loss in a way because while it opens up tablets and other previously anti-consumer devices it also potentially exposes all devices that supported secure boot to malware.
Christopher Jackson
So it's basically going back to plain old BIOS at this point? I don't see how it's a loss.
Henry Wilson
This is good news forwindows phone and surfaceRT owners, as linux/android will be finally possible to run on their hardware
Kevin Cruz
No, only going back to normal UEFI
Connor Smith
All this does is give you freedom for hardware that you paid for. Secure boot doesn't protect your disk drives. If the government really wanted to see the contents of your hard drive they'd just remove the hard drive, clone it and view it from there.
Joshua Scott
Fucking Microsoft and the prajeet staff, should've never trusted you to begin with

Jeremiah Thomas
What's better? BIOS or UEFI??
Noah Perry
UEFI should be better, but it's much more locked down than a traditional BIOS
Samuel Nguyen
The main problem is the abundance of hardware which supports virtualization compared to back then.
If someone takes advantage of hardware based virtualization they can create a hypervisor that can be used to snoop on an unsuspecting user. It's like a MITM attack but you're in the middle of the user and their own hardware. Could be used to steal credentials for websites or other things that would normally resist ransomware.

>backdoor to secure boot i fail to see how this could ever possibly be anything but fantastic.

until somebody tells me how to put a different os on my Wangblows phone i'm calling bullshit

Everytime someone comes into my store with a failing hdd, or corrupt boot, i can disable secure boot, liveusb it, and see all of their data anyways. I dont see what safety it adds really...
Leo Perez
Some devices don't let you disable it any more.
Josiah Robinson
unless the drive is encrypted
secure boot is meant to prevent booting "untrusted" software. Most computers are factory provisioned with the MS public keys so they will only boot software signed by Microsoft(of course, only if Secure boot is enabled). Some systems can also be set with your own keys, something useful in corporate environments.
If you don't want anyone to access your data you should encrypt your drive and keep the keys inside something secure(like a TPM).
Adam Edwards
But this is good news, OP. It means that people can remove the microsoft cancer from UEFI devices
Lincoln Thompson
Ah, thabks for the clarification. So it is just to stop year of the linux from actually happening then.
Daniel Moore
This. It's just a malware bootkit enabler. It's not a Bitlocker backdoor or some kind of remote code execution hole.
> on Surface RT They already chose this shit for you.
Matthew Walker
Some devices come with UEFI locked and Microshit fucked up
They should get sued
Lucas Perez
Okay, so whats the password/key? I can log into every app with it right? Shit, I am so going to hack every comp at my school.
Ayden Carter

>implying these keys werent made for FBI, and NSA.
PRISM people.. REMEMBER PRISM
Noah Thompson
>However, the Golden Keys disclosed by two security researchers [...] can be used to install non-Windows operating systems, say GNU/Linux or Android, on the devices protected by Secure Boot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Alexander Cook
They were made for developing. I bet the agencies have their own keys

Will it unlock WP7 phones?

BRING BACK THE DEMOSCENE ;___;7

Good, this will ensure the pedos of Sup Forums go to jail where they belong.

If only it supported a wider range of hardware.

hopefully raped with aids. fuck i hate pedos.

Right now?
Angel Evans
>all this hate towards masterrace windows >rather run osx on their computers. Seriously, Sup Forums is fucking dead.

how do I turn it off?

Just get an x86 tablet and install it

Cameron Kelly
I wonder if you could install OSX on a windows tablet. It would be like an ipad but with an actual build of OSX running on it.
William Adams
>iFags on full damage control Nice try iPajeets.
Henry Campbell
That will take iFags to the new level of butthurt.
Jaxon Russell
Rakesh pls go to your street

UEFI protects the hand off from the boot to the operating system. I theory it should be better. In reality its most shitting things up and being attacked at the bios was rare as fuck anyways.
Aaron Wright
>iTard loses argument >Oh, I know! Let's just call them a rakesh in a last ditch attempt to redeem Apple's image on Sup Forums Nice try, it's not going to work iPajeet.

I don't want to look like an SJW faggot, but you're a racist.

It doesn't work like that, go fuck yourself

the number of pasty IT cucks with inferiority complexes on this board is getting out of hand

just install linuxdeploy on your android tablet
in what parallel world do you live?

Yeah well your father "leaked" semen in to his sister and made you but you don't see me making shitty threads asking for you to be banished from Sup Forums.

it just works, and it's suckless

You're an SJW faggot if the words "you're a racist" ever leaves your mouth you bitch ass punk. Can't wait for Trump to deport your poo in loo mouth back to Shitndia.

In my BIOS i turned off secure boot, so i dont even care.
Jose Bennett

Secure Boot uses UEFI not BIOS.

huh.

Why is there people saying this could allow android on lumias? Am i missing something?
