11:49 cpuid hi guys, I know I'm slightly off-topic here, but maybe someone has a better vision of the following issue
11:50 cpuid I've seen many boards, mostly x86 based, featuring a "BIOS" from which UEFI Secure Boot can be configured
11:51 cpuid my understanding is that all what prevents a physical present user to disable it is a BIOS password
11:51 cpuid which could be easily bruteforced (when not directly calculated by a hash provided by the BIOS after 3 failed attempts)
11:52 cpuid am I understanding it properly?
11:52 cpuid Normally ARM-based boards provide a way to lock-down the hardware via eFuses, which seems way more reasonable to me
12:50 Artox topi`, good, let me know if you succeed at some point
12:50 Artox I never looked into it
