![]() ![]() ![]() CyberCX says that some modern machines with the BIOS and EEPROM packages in one Surface Mount Device (SMD) would be more difficult to hack in this way, requiring an "off-chip attack." The cyber security firm also says that some motherboard and system makers do indeed already use an integrated SMD. Some readers may be wondering about their own laptops or BIOS-locked machines they have seen on eBay and so on. You can watch the video for a bit of 'technique.'ĬyberCX includes some quite in-depth analysis of how its BIOS hack works and explains that you can't just short the EEPROM chips straight away as you turn the machine on (hence the need for timing). There is said to be some timing needed, but the timing isn't so tight, so there is some latitude. Then, once you enter the BIOS, you should find that all configuration options are open to be changed. ![]() ![]() Shorting the L08-1 X chip pins requires something as simple as a screwdriver tip being held between two of the chip legs. An embedded video in the CyberCX blog post shows just how easy this 'hack' is to do. ![]()
