Persistent Bios Infection

Presented at SyScan 2009 by

When developing rootkits, one of the biggest problems resides on getting the malicious code executed always, surviving reboots and being undetectable. In this talk we want to demonstrate how malicious code can be injected into commercial BIOS firmware. Instead of other rootkit methods which make use of the ACPI specification, we have focused our work in a binary generic implementation independent of the installed OS.
