Last week Paul English of PreOS Security gave a presentation at SeaGL Conference (spelled with the RMS-preferred prefix, “Seattle GNU/Linux Conference”, pronounced like the bird “Seagull”). The presentation was about about firmware defensive skills. Whereas my previous presentation presumed an audience of enterprise (SysAdmins, SREs, Blue Teams, or DFIR), Paul’s talk presumed an audience of end-users, with no enterprise to back them up.
Alas, with most SeaGL presentations, this presentation was not video/audio-taped. His blog post has pointer to his slides.
His blog post also mentions brief status update on the sysadmin ebook that Paul is driving, he’s nearly ready, it’ll be nice to have this resource available.
Also, note that the PreOS Security web site has been revamped. All known HTTP/HTTPS problems have been resolved, and the blog backlog is getting flushed.
