Microsoft’s Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi::The point of Microsoft’s Bitlocker security feature is to protect personal data stored locally on devices and particularly when those devices are lost or otherwise physically compromised. With Bi
It should be noted that this attack was demonstrated on a nearly 10 year old laptop that has the TPM traces exposed on the motherboard.
Most TPMs nowadays are built into the CPU which does not leave them vulnerable to this type of attack.
I don’t get the downvoting. This is solid commentary on the Flipper Zero idiocy.
Its definitely sort or misleading but MS needs to really have its feet held to the fire when it comes to these things. It sort of pushes the narrative in the correct direction which is towards privacy AND security, not a half-ass balance where one or the other or both is compromised or is an illusion altogether
The Outlook stuff has demonstrated how fundamentally irresponsible and unserious they are about their obligation to secure and regulate their own systems, they need all the bad press they can get so they are compelled to do betwr
Because MS designed Lenovo motherboard for them and told them where to put the tpm debug pins? I think you’re casting blame at the wrong vendor here.
Doesn’t matter how good the software is if the hardware vendor fucks up like that.
Fake news. Nobody is getting a raspberry pi for $10 lol
I get your joke, but it’s even cheaper than a “Raspberry Pi”. Pi Pico, one RP2040 chip, that’s basically RPi’s new version of a Teensy. I just installed one in my GameCube to defeat its “BIOS” and boot from micro SD card :P
There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access. “ThE aVeRaGe PeRsOn DoEsNt NeEd AdMiN pErMiSsIoNs” or “think of the children”. Ipads and surface pros will be allowed but something like a socket 1155 motherboard won’t.
When the government starts taking away unlocked bootloader phones, I will be switching to ham radio instead of getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.
No one wants LGA1155 anymore anyway so it’s Gucci, my i7-2600 was far past it’s life span 5 years ago
Speak for yourself, I’ll take anything that executes code and find a use for it
Yet another example of “hardware access is root access”
$10… not really in video. He had a custom PCB made so the pogo pins were on the board, all in one.
Honestly, pretty awesome. Although as noted, this is for older boards without TPM integration in CPU.
It can also be done with a logic analyzer.
That is a PI Nano. They gave them away for free at a trade fair. I’ve got a bag of them laying around for my next project.
Pi Pico. With a RP2040 MCU. Which retails for [$9.91 on Amazon](Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Pico Flexible Microcontroller Board Based on The Raspberry Pi RP2040 Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ Processor for Gamecube, 1pc. https://a.co/d/0A0hAXX).
I’m sure they were giving away at some events because we’re trying to popularize the new chip to get more devs to jump on board. I use a RP2040 on my current project and it’s a great chip.
