[DEFCON 16] Bypassing pre-boot authentication passwords by instrumenting the...Moabi.com
Pre-boot authentication software, in particular full hard disk encryption software, play a key role in preventing information theft. In this paper, we present a new class of vulnerability affecting multiple high value pre-boot authentication software, including the latest Microsoft disk encryption technology : Microsoft Vista's Bitlocker, with TPM chip enabled. Because Pre-boot authentication software programmers commonly make wrong assumptions about the inner workings of the BIOS interruptions responsible for handling keyboard input, they typically use the BIOS API without flushing or initializing the BIOS internal keyboard buffer. Therefore, any user input including plain text passwords remains in memory at a given physical location. In this article, we first present a detailed analysis of this new class of vulnerability and generic exploits for Windows and Unix platforms under x86 architectures. Unlike current academic research aiming at extracting information from the RAM, our practical methodology does not require any physical access to the computer to extract plain text passwords from the physical memory. In a second part, we will present how this information leakage combined with usage of the BIOS API without careful initialization of the BIOS keyboard buffer can lead to computer reboot without console access and full security bypass of the pre-boot authentication pin if an attacker has enough privileges to modify the bootloader. Other related work include information leakage from CPU caches, reading physical memory thanks to firewire and switching CPU modes.

"I want to put an ISO image file onto my USB drive, but have no idea on how to do it. Could I just directly copy and paste the ISO image file to my USB? Or need I use some special ISO to USB burner tools?" Many people may have the same question. Some people may want to burn ISO to bootable USB while some others only want to copy ISO to USB for storage. Therefore, the situation varies upon different needs. This post would show you how to burn an ISO to USB drive or/and copy ISO to USB flash drive for data storage only, rather than creating ISO to bootable USB flash drive. Hence, you may need to make clear before you decide to continue reading it.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

PHASE 1 - CREATING ISO FILE
ISO IMAGE
An archive file of an optical disc, a type of disk image composed of the data contents
from every written sector on an optical disc, including the optical disc file system
The files usually have a file extension of .iso
The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but
what is known as an ISO image might also contain a UDF (ISO/IEC 13346) file system
(commonly used by DVDs and Blu-ray Discs)
ISO images can be produced from optical discs by disk imaging software, or from a
collection of files by optical disc authoring software, or from a different disk image
file using conversion
i.e. PowerISO, UltraISO, AVSDisc Creator, Daemon Tools Lite, WinCDEmu, PISMOFile
Mount, StarBurn, VirtualClone Drive, Phantom CD, MagicDisc, LC ISO Creator
How to Use PowerISO as ISO Creator?
A. Create iso file using the main program
1. Run PowerISO.
2. Click the "Add" button on toolbar to add files and folders. You can also directly drag
files and folders from Windows Explorer to PowerISO window. Another method to
add files is using the system clipboard. You can select files and folders in Windows
Explorer, hit "CTRL-C" to copy them to clipboard, then go to PowerISO window, and
hit "CTRL-V" to paste selected files and folders to current compilation.
3. Choose the menu "Action > New Folder" to create a new folder.
4. Choose the menu "Action > Change Label" to change the default label.
5. Choose the menu "File > Properties" to set the iso file properties.
6. After you have added all files and folders and made all necessary changes, click the
"Save" button on toolbar, or choose the "File > Save" menu to save the iso file.
5. 5COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES

B. Create iso file using the shell context menu:
1. Open "My Computer" and select the files and folders which you want to add to iso
file.
2. Right-click on the files selected, the shell context menu will popup.
3. Choose the menu "Add to xxxxx.iso".
4. PowerISO main program will start to run. It will automatically add all files and folders
selected to the current compilation, then save the iso file with the specified name.
(Notes: The default image type for saving is DAA, you can change it to ISO format in
PowerISO configuration dialog.)
Create iso file using the drag and drop
1. Run PowerISO.
2. Open "My Computer" and select the files which you want to add to iso file.

PHASE 2 – CREATING BOOTABLE DISC
Rufus
a tool for Windows that handles a lot of work formatting USB drives and making
them bootable
it can burn most ISO files to USB very efficiently
Features include burns any Windows ISO (XP, 7 or 8), burns any Linux-based ISO
(ArchLinux, Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc); burns a number of handy ISOs (Hiren's Boot CD,
FreeDOS, BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD); handles UEFI as well as legacy booting; handles
GPT as well as MBR partition tables
Requirements: Rufus 1.4.9 or higher; Apple (or PC) running Windows XP or later
(preferably Windows 7+); Rufus application; ISO (supported operating systems);
and8 GB USB flash drive (minimum recommended)
Create a bootable USB drive with Rufus
1. Rufus requires an account with admin access in order to make the necessary changes
to hardware. After authenticating, insert the USB flash drive and launch Rufus. It will
detect the drive almost immediately. Since Rufus can handle various partition
schemes and file structures, ensure that the correct settings are set that match the
UFD you're going to build.
2. Click the optical drive button next to the Create a bootable disk using checkbox, and
you'll be prompted to search for the ISO image to use.
8. 8COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES
My Teacher Got IT v2.0
3. When using ISO images, Rufus will automatically modify the settings to best match it.
Once everything is set correctly, click the Start button to begin the process. You'll be
prompted with a warning that all data on the UFD will be destroyed. Click OK to
proceed with the creation process
4. Depending on the ISO image size, the process may take several minutes to complete.
For the log readout of each step in the process, click the Log button to open a side
window and save the output details
9. 9COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES

PHASE 3 – CONFIGURING THE BOOT SEQUENCE OF COMPUTER OR LAPTOP BIOS
BIOS
BIOS (Basic Input Output Subsystem)
is a programmable chip that controls how information is passed to various devices in
the computer system
BIOS settings allow the user to run a boot sequence from a floppy drive, a hard drive,
a CD-ROM drive or an external device.
The first device in the order list has the first boot priority
For example, to boot from a CD-ROM drive instead of a hard drive, place the CD-
ROM drive ahead of the hard drive in priority
Setting Boot Priority for a USB Device
1. Plug the device into a USB Port
2. Start the computer and press ESC, F1, F2, F8 or F10 during the initial startup screen.
Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, a menu may appear.
3. Choose to enter BIOS setup. The BIOS setup utility page appears.
4. Use the arrow keys to select the BOOT tab. System devices appear in order of
priority.
5. To give a CD or DVD drive boot sequence priority over the hard drive, move it to the
first position in the list.
6. To give a USB device boot sequence priority over the hard drive, do the following:
o Move the hard drive device to the top of the boot sequence list.
o Expand the hard drive device to display all hard drives.
o Move the USB device to the top of the list of hard drives.
7. Save and exit the BIOS setup utility.
8. The computer will restart with the changed settings.

PHASE 4 - PARTITIONING THE HARD DISK OR DISK DRIVE
Disk Partitioning or Disc Slicing
The creation of one or more regions on a hard disk or other secondary storage, so
that an operating system can manage information in each region separately
Partitioning is typically the first step of preparing a newly manufactured disk, before
any files or directories have been created.
The disk stores the information about the partitions' locations and sizes in an area
known as the partition table that the operating system reads before any other part
of the disk.
Each partition then appears in the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that
uses part of the actual disk.
When a hard drive is installed in a computer, it must be partitioned before you can
format and use it.
Partitioning a drive is when you divide the total storage of a drive into different
pieces. These pieces are called partitions.
Once a partition is created, it can then be formatted so that it can be used on a
computer.
Creating a Partition during Windows Installation
1. Start Windows 7 installation, after passing the first initial screens, you will get to
the screen where you are asked which type of installation you want to perform.
2. Click on “Custom (advanced)”, as this is a fresh installation of Windows 7.
12. 12COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES
My Teacher Got IT v2.0
3. Pick option #2 to create the partition exactly as you want it
4. Create a new partition click “New”. In the “Size” box, enter the size for the new
partition. When done, click “Apply”.
The setup program will let you know that it will create an additional
partition on that drive. That partition will be, by default, hidden, and contain the
necessary files to boot the computer. This partition will consume 100 MB of disk
space.
Note: Actually, even if you do not manually create the partition by using
this procedure Windows will still create this partition. However, since you did
13. 13COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES
My Teacher Got IT v2.0
manually create the partition, Windows will tell you that another partition will
also be created.
5. Press “Format” to format the new partition. You’ll be warned that all data will be
deleted. That should pose no issue because the partition was just created, and it
is blank.
6. Installation will now commence as usual.

PHASE 5 – INSTALLING MICROSOFT WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
Planning the Installation
Take into consideration the things you should do when planning for Windows
installation:
Check System Requirements
Check Hardware and Software Compatibility
Determine Disk Partitioning Options
Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist
Choose whether 32-bit or 64-bit Version
Windows installation disc package includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
Basically, the 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access
memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system
Using Windows on a computer with more than 3 GB or RAM, it is strongly suggest to
use the 64-bit version
Type of Windows Installation
1. Upgrade (In-place upgrade) – This option replaces your current version of Windows
with Windows, and keeps your files, settings, and programs in place on your
computer.
2. Custom (“fresh” installation) – This option replaces your current version of Windows
with Windows, but doesn’t preserve your files, settings, and programs. It’s
sometimes referred to as a clean installation for that reason.
