I'm going to start this post by saying something that a lot of people will find surprising. There are a lot of things that I like about UEFI firmware and the UEFI boot process. I think it is an ...

Unless your computer is pretty old, it probably uses UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) to boot. The idea is that a bootloader picks up files from an EFI partition and uses them to start ...

The malware is known as a bootkit, which is designed to infect a computer’s boot process before it loads the operating system. In recent years, security researchers have discovered bootkits targeting ...

These days, bootstrapping a computer is a pretty straight forward process, at least as far as the user is concerned. But in ...

A recently surfaced Linux bootkit, which nests in the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and is intended to bypass its security measures, is apparently a project by South Korean scientists.

First off, a little context. I'm a 30+ year Mac user and I just bought my first PC in decades. I'm no stranger to Windows and Linux, but haven't used them as a desktop OS for about 15 years. My ...

Multiple security vulnerabilities collectively named LogoFAIL affect image-parsing components in the UEFI code from various vendors. Researchers warn that they could be exploited to hijack the ...

There's a surprising amount of code running before the OS even loads.

Linux Australia is fit to be tied over recent reports that Microsoft is requiring Windows 8 certified machines to support UEFI secure booting, a situation that could most likely hamper or block Linux ...
