Re: 100% Security During Boot 4 Peanuts ! you can get realy cool stuff going with this. How bout this one trigger the relay by computer poer. Hooked inline with the led for the case. Each computer could have its own relay that kils its own cat 5. No isues with the cat 5 relay being tripped while you want it on this way ither.Course with routers you dont need to worry about this so much but this would be great for a hub or bridge. Spanner has most asuradly came up with something worth while. Even if you are 99.9999% sure your firewall protects during all phases of boot you just never know. I mean what if your firewall stops protecting during boot or what if theres 3 secounds where it infact doesnt protect when you need protection. Timing a relay switch out so that it only conects the cat 60 secounds after it recieves its power will asure protection.
For us lowly end users this may not be a big deal and the slight risk is something we are willing to take. But how much youwant to bet this shows up in some corp invironment some where?
And heres somethign i bet no one even thought of. Its possible with a small amount of coding in the language of your choice to send data out a serial port any kind of data you like. This data could be say running proccess list or a single running procs name. Or maybe you use a trigger event in your program that breaks the connection toyour cat 5 if a proc stops running. To date while i cant remember what firewalls had it happen i remember hearing about 3 that had trojans disable them includign killing the proccess. This of course would allow full access to your computer. Well spanners idea taken to the next step could stop things like this dead.
