thanks. it was hard to wade through AMDs docs on this. but it uses ddr3 ram. do you know if these are subject to rowhammer (bit flipping) attacks? is this the hardware you use? didnt think to mention it because all modern hardware uses ddr4. > I would get a unicomp keyboard with trackpad, as then you have input > devices where the firmware can't be internally flashed like most > keyboards can. how hard is it to maliciously flash a mouse or keyboard? my concern was other malicious devices being plugged in when im not looking. or other devices, like someone elses thumb drive etc. stuff i dont want touching dom0. > > and before anyone suggests it, no, im not porting xen to talon. > *Talos 2 > It seems you have read my other posts? in that case why do you ask?
