The pirate bay will be plased with this
- brokenparser 13y agoBut be careful, there might be an exloit lurking inside
- MasterScrat 13y agoThat was my first thought, crackers will be glad about it. Not only can they publish torrents targeted at the sysadmins willing to pirate the updates, they can also setup fake websites that look legitimate and offer them for free.
- liotier 13y ago> they can also setup fake websites that look legitimate and offer them for free. Especially easy considering the mess that HP support URL are.
- drdaeman 13y agoAren't firmware updates signed?
- brokenparser 13y agoYep, HP made it a policy to sign all their vulnerable firmwares. The procedure remains the same: please print this document to commence firmware upgrade. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRGEnakrx9o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRGEnakrx9o
- userbinator 13y agoI think it'll be more along the lines of people posting on forums "have model X mobo, can someone give me a BIOS image?" and others answering their requests, not unlike what already happens today in repair forums. Not hard to dump the BIOS from a known-good board and flash it into another; it's the usual way to recover from a flashing operation that went seriously wrong, and any decent repair shop will have the reader/writer hardware for this.
