To whom it may concern
I hope here is the right place to ask about envytools.
I am working on securing our GPUs in the case of an OpenStack
infrastructure, where GPUs can be bound and unbound to VMs from
different clients.
I wanted to use envytools to retrieve the VBIOS our cards, then check
after each VM deletion if somebody changed the VBIOS (potentially a
threat). The VBIOS would be read again and compared to the previously
stored one.
So we would like to know:
* is the card harmed in any way by reading the BIOS (I guess not, as
we simply read**);
* the utility also suggests that the cards have a second VBIOS. Is
this second VBIOS also read at the same time? If not, how to read it?
* the VBIOS file read is larger than the one that could be read using
the NVFlash utility (1 Mo for envytools, against 230 ko for
NVFlash). I guess it is not an issue, but could you explain why this
difference occurs?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Jean Chorin
