Mastering UEFI: Your Essential Guide to Hardware-Firmware and Boot-Chain Security

[@adrianandrews2254]

Excellent ensemble. Very enjoyable. A point often missed. You said (correctly) that UEFI requires disks to be partitioned as GPT. The converse is not true however because GPT drives still have an MBR ! I always format drives as GPT but I often combine this with the legacy BIOS boot process. In fact it's the only simple way to boot old or unusual OS (eg Windows 98) on a 4TB+ drive.

Cloud BIOS is terrible for us homelabbers. I deal with HW that is nearly 10 years old and still fine. I can guarantee that those proposals would lock us into buying new hardware when support is out, even if HW is still working fine. Cool idea though...

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thanks for the comments, just avoid any internet-facing equipment that you can not update or patch.

You keep saying SP1 bus, it is an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus not SP1 @TechsavvyProductions , the TPM sits on the SPI bus too.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Always appreciated the feedback and comments, went back and searched my research documents 40+ and all stated Serial Peripheral Interface, not sure why I was thinking "bus". Thanks for the correction! Serial can be thought of as a type of "bus", but none of the UEFI documentation papers referred to SPI as a bus.

[@moukafaslouka4796]

@@TechsavvyProductions The SPI bus is called so because it was initially developed for embedded systems. Motorola developed it in the early 1980s. They are the ones that named it SPI in the first place.

😂😂😂😂 May be, he is saying I as 1.....

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Love the feedback and comments!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Actually I saw it referred as a "bus" in a couple of technical documents, which I did not keep in my resources. But I did go back and research all my engineering docs and "red-faced" realized they all call it (Serial Peripheral Interface). Love the comments and feedback!

Good advice: "If it ain't broke, Don't fix it". Sooner or later, though, something breaks on the motherboard. The BIOS is not immune.

When you say check always the bios compatibility. What about old windows servers. What would you check there

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Server firmware is a challenge, look up the documentation for that server. That can be really helpful.

[@adrianandrews2254]

@@TechsavvyProductions I use SuperMicro server boards. They have a fantastic feature where you can look up the feature you want and it tells you the lowest firmware version that incorporates it. If you are at that version or higher you don't need to update.

I have a question:What math should I learn for network administrator?

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Usually a good education at your local community college will include the math you need. You do not need engineering level math ie: calculus unless you want to be a developer also. This is a subjective question due to so many possible answers and potential job requirements. Lots of math will not hurt you.

[@jeffsad8391]

@@TechsavvyProductions but i begin learning about how computer work,cpu,ram etc I have another question:after the basics how they work,should I learn about binary,linear algebra,vectors?
