CIRCUITS TO KERNEL

Disclaimer: it’s a 3.9 MB Linux kernel ; ) N.b. whilst I will try to explain concepts to those new to this field, this blog assumes a lot of fundamental knowledge on FPGAs, RTL development, Vivado, Petalinux, SOC/CPU architecture, memory managers, memory…

This is the circuit diagram we will create.

In this blogpost @astralvx will describe the physical hardware attack to capture a Bitlocker key in transit across the SPI bus.

In this blogpost @astralvx will introduce Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), a standard for connecting high-speed component to PC’s such as video cards, network cards, raid controllers, NVME SSDs, WIFI cards, etc.

When writing assembly in Real Mode as 16 bit, all posts online (stackoverflow, etc) all talk from the perspective of developing on Linux.

Many of you may have used PCIe Screamer by LambdaConcept and variants with firmware by U.

Introduction Windows does not make it easy to do digital signature checks from a kernel driver.

In this blogpost I’m going to talk about how the PNP Manager is able to discover devices and install/run the appropriate drivers from INF files.

Recently I’ve had to do some access checks on FILE_OBJECTs from a kernel driver (but not from the perspective of the current user).
