I've done it
- dataflow 5y agoDoes it not need a digital signature or something?
- dijit 5y agoCool tool, didn’t know it existed but there are so many variations on UEFI bios’s that I can’t help but feel it will not universally work, and it depends a lot on things being compartmentalised. I also draw your attention to: > UEFITool is only meant for the advanced users who have all the knowledge needed to modify the UEFI BIOS files. Because of you make any mistake and flash the faulty file to your motherboard, it can turn the motherboard into a dead brick. Which is more worrying when you look at what is presented (just a bunch of UUIDs). Not exactly usable for average person who wants to minimise the attack surface of their machine. Given that average people aren’t networking booting, wouldn’t it be wiser to have it enableable? Instead of on by default.
