Zusammenfassung: | Statistical detection of firmware-level compromises can be enabled and performed on a computing system. During pre-boot, a pre-boot agent can access firmware loaded in memory and cause it to be stored in a manner that will allow the firmware to be accessed at runtime. During runtime, the firmware can be accessed and stored as files in the file system or other storage location accessible to an antivirus solution. The antivirus solution can then analyze the files using statistics-based techniques to thereby detect compromises in firmware. |
