Do you mean automatically? If so, correct. (But I think that's true of most OSes.) > One could still get attacked via BIOS is some had physical access > to machine to swap out a part. Correct. (Swapping out a part is one way, but there are potentially "easier" ways too.) > But not over internet. Agree? Disagree? Depends on what you mean by "over internet." I've noticed that UEFI on recent motherboards typically has the ability to update itself over the internet from within the UEFI itself. Qubes can't prevent that, because Qubes isn't even running at that point (though AEM should detect such changes after the fact.) - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXUfeqAAoJENtN07w5UDAwE3EP/ROVVHDzgGzCssJWbbRGBmbI EEh7ZbMUzewofNjnYjsBA80QuhF8j+q/55Ofpb57vRdMJ400EtqABLachxgjjNwo VsahIcvkV0HSM+AZ3ObRwPcd4iRkcmzgfSXueLmoO7oAETpSWTqp5yweF/NUzTwo WcnilgajdJE7fI51jADltelqD3eGURC/pMbV5E6KUDFoLWG+zZULPKTaFimQDLz5 17dqTJ5MMwv5DrwFEXI2pgd6PxohPfOs4qGarCAw4/e8NIQyJ4IJ5vfcvN5GS2w1 NcJ/8k9rhI9pUxlufUhRdriDop793p5fjICWYTeUPGzziYLLA/KwE0hIYr1U5yg6 Rny7V+52FQ5BkmrpmYatMksmojHJzOdcLdEh5drHHxjx1FEKTtbkV39ud4Dl7GMh PmsyKRbDo/29uiXCuvjYENQ9PcaSxh3HSANXzo7GbFGy1RIwAK/CO9Wag9uadBHf NNui9Ta9JOCPpN0VV8RHAUuQJyRnB9a5XWuBcg3T6CKvWN5zOw7UqPV94A6jOwUL BvV9tjAHV6LSPPpLocDHbltsRGtDUCi+jITGOMmHK7O9mWP4MsCoqvys7oFw4FTN T1CqHAWcsYh2moX26x3EtW80vCO0rwr5wd5umX0QvrmAMXJLzWhAvF8oTlWdQ+fm 5GgaxByyNYg8JU1LXn20 =5r4k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
