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
Requires physical access. A non-story outside of cybersec academia/research
Bitlocker’s threat model is physical access, though. And it’s 50% of TPM’s threat model too.
Yeah which is why no one cares about either. The threat vector is usually not discussed and mostly ignored by non state-level actors in practice.
I do agree that it’s fascinating. My master’s degree thesis was on sourcing trust and eliminating various evil maid type attacks, including supply side targeted poisoned hardware aimed at state level.
Fake news. Nobody is getting a raspberry pi for $10 lol
I get your joke, but it’s even cheaper than a “Raspberry Pi”. Pi Pico, one RP2040 chip, that’s basically RPi’s new version of a Teensy. I just installed one in my GameCube to defeat its “BIOS” and boot from micro SD card :P
Hey - hey member that time when Truecrypt was like, “Peace, we out. Use bitlocker. lol”
When’s the new Truecrypt coming out? Yeah yeah Veracrypt, I know. It’s cool, its just not. I dunno.
Pis are 10$ again? That’s the real story.
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.
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
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.
