We don't actually know that. It's possible that connecting that pin shorts some circuit on the card that prevents it from operating. I suspect you're right tho

- sue_real 3y agoIt's pretty much just a button, if it doesn't physically cuts power, I'd suggest. I think with billion dollar budget year after year, you pretty much go for firmware level attacks thees days. 0click 0day as-a-service is private economy and.. cheap and very different from what they want: long term backdoor access to everything, without the possiblility to spot it in user space or OS.
- BertoldVdb 3y agoIt usually is not, most cards will allow software unlocking even if the hardware switch is off. You can run 'rfkill unblock all' on a Linux system to test it.
- numpad0 3y agorfkill shouldn’t be able to unblock hardblocks, “all” means “all cards here”, not “all of those nonsense”. Is that your experience or are you just theorizing?
