“There are always worse things waiting. You think you have seen the most terrible thing, the one that coalesces all your nightmares into a freakish horror that actually exists, and the only consolation is that there can be nothing worse. Even if there is, your mind will snap at the sight of it, and you will know no more. But there is worse, your mind does not snap, and somehow you carry on. You might understand that all the joy has gone out of the world for you, you might wish you were the one who was dead - but you go on. You might realize that you are in a hell of your own making, but you go on nevertheless. Because there is nothing else to do.”

tons of posts on reddit about "well, if you have local access to the computer then you can do anything so when you think about it this is NBD" with regards to the apple root hole

idk about reddit but it's true that if someone with half a brain has physical access you get pwned

back in the day it was taking the cmos battery out so you could reset the BIOS pw but that's gone the way of the dodo


and microsoft is kind of nifty about protecting critical files now, you can encrypt your whole sdd/hdd if you feel like you need to

but then try to reinstall windows and clean up the files left behind

elevate privileges as much as you want ms defender will be "this is a critical system file"

There's an important distinction between physical access and physical control.

A machine in a public computer lab I have physical access to. A machine I can take home (or have stolen) I have physical control over. The difference is what I can do to the machine without raising suspicion.

Those public computer lab machines can be secured to a reasonable extent by password protecting the BIOS/OpenFirmware/EFI/whatever and boot menu then locking the case closed to prevent people from resetting it easily. An attacker generally can't start cutting the case with tools in the middle of a public area without people noticing. They can, however, use this bug to enable an admin account on the machine from which they can do pretty much whatever else they want.

A machine I can bring to a private location and disassemble without interference on the other hand is basically pwned unless it's using good encryption.

i've never done a mr. robot black hat thing in my life

okay once in hs but that place was ridiciulous

just saying you can talk to the lab attendant while you're you're doing something awful to one of his or her machines and then get the whole network because who cares

none of that is remotely interesting compared to real exploits anyway
