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.
Unsurprised. Physical security seems to be a lot tougher for the industry to “nail”
Just look at this UEFI boot fail vuln/exploit. Crazy.
$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 [$9.91 on Amazon](Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Pico Flexible Microcontroller Board Based on The Raspberry Pi RP2040 Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ Processor for Gamecube, 1pc. https://a.co/d/0A0hAXX).
I’m sure they were giving away at some events because we’re trying to popularize the new chip to get more devs to jump on board. I use a RP2040 on my current project and it’s a great chip.
Isn’t the whole point of BitLocker protection from direct access? When a computer is turned off, encryption should keep the data safe. Also when a computer is turned off, basically no remote vector is going to work. AFAIK, when the computer is on, the drive is mounted and BitLocker provides no additional protection over an unencrypted drive.
Veracrypt drive encryption does not have the same problem, it would be secure even with physical access
Pis are 10$ again? That’s the real story.
