At the minimum, I'd want to be aware that the firmware is not what the manufacturer had intended to provide me. Perhaps it's not the NSA after me, but some other actor or competitor or ransomware agency.
- dataflow 5y agoYeah and to do that you need some mechanism to check what's on the device. It wouldn't help you to have 'open' firmware since it still wouldn't tell you what's on the device.
