Thank you for checking. I wonder if there's any more general solution to the problem of "I don't know whether this is evil code". Checksumming all storage seems a good one. If only it were possible to inspect all system calls and make sure none made permanent changes. I wonder what the state of research is on statically proving assembly code to be non-self-modifying. If so, maybe it'd be possible to prove that certain classes of actions aren't taken (i.e. writing to video BIOS, etc.)
- miles 17y agoI also did before and after snapshots of the registry and file system. As with any normal boot, there were some minor changes to both, but nothing that stood out particularly. A checksum of the hard drive would of course be different after every boot, with or without Kon-Boot.
