Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi
Microsoft's Bitlocker & TPM encryption combo defeated with a $10 Raspberry Pi
Your laptop probably isn't as secure as you thought.
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.
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
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

Coolest thing I heard all day. Didn't know that was a thing.
With shipping it's more than ten but on it's own it's 6,10 for the H model
BAN RASPBERRY PI'S!
BAN COMPUTERS!
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.
Someday? Canada is already trying to ban the Flipper Zero, we're living in your nightmare.
We're gonna have problems getting enough software engineers in the future. How is anyone supposed to learn when everything is locked away. It's already happening in the repair industry and the trades.
Yet another example of "hardware access is root access"
As it should be really so you can repair things.
I agree
$10.. not really in video. He had a custom PCB made so the pogo pins were on the board, all in one.
Honestly, pretty awesome. Although as noted, this is for older boards without TPM integration in CPU.
It can also be done with a logic analyzer.
Pis are 10$ again? That's the real story.
It's a Pi Pico (RP2040), which is an MCU, not CPU. Similar to an Arduino UNO (ATmega328p).
Unsurprised. Physical security seems to be a lot tougher for the industry to “nail”
Just look at this UEFI boot fail vuln/exploit. Crazy.
Yet we still can't crack Denuvo...
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.
Veracrypt does fine
I know, I know.
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.
This is categorically false. Laptops are not a story but rather company property.
