UPDATE: See-also:
An interesting find, potentialy scary if misused. See the Ars Technical and YCombinator stories for discovery. What is Windows’ ‘wpbbin.exe’, and how/when is it used? There’s one reference to it on Microsoft.com in a DOC related to WPBT, the Windows Platform Binary Table. From one document no longer on the Microsoft web site (saved in Google cache, found on the Ars article):
“A rich set of tools exist to aid Windows provisioning, ranging from driver injection and offline registry management to sysprep imaging tools. However, there is a small set of software where the tools are not enough. The software is absolutely critical for the execution of Windows but for one reason or another, the vendor is unable to distribute the software to every provisioning entity. This paper describes a mechanism for a platform, via the boot firmware, to publish a binary to Windows for execution. The mechanism leverages a boot firmware component to publish a binary in physical memory described to Windows using a fixed ACPI table. The information provided here was originally published in conjunction with the availability of Windows 8. The guidance and requirements to use WPBT functionality has been updated for the Windows 10 timeframe.”
