Nice backdoor grub
>GRUB
GNU shitware at its finest. Use LILO or Syslinux.
I've been using this bug for years. Surprised someone else finally found it.
what kind of next level autist finds this out
>>51880087
I wish syslinux had better UEFI support
>>51880126
probably used a fuzzer
>not encrypting your hard drives
If you have access to the computer you'll have access to the drives anyway
>>51880126
Someone who holds backspace for a while deleting their mistyped username and then wonders why they are in rescue shell.

Not even that obscure of a fault. The THERAC-25 radiation therapy machine had a bug in it where if you pressed a very specific sequence of keys it would give the patient a massive dose of radiation and killed like 6 people.
>The failure only occurred when a particular nonstandard sequence of keystrokes was entered on the VT-100 terminal which controlled the PDP-11 computer: an "X" to (erroneously) select 25 MeV photon mode followed by "cursor up", "E" to (correctly) select 25 MeV Electron mode, then "Enter", all within eight seconds.[4]

>>51880126
The kind of autist that:
>Has c knowledge
>Has asm knowledge
>Audits the grub's source code
Or:
>>51881631
So basically, a monkey.
>>51881763
>thinking that isn't backdoored by poettering
>>51881981
I've backdoored poetering so it's ok
>>51879994
good thing i boot from efistub directly, make entries with efibootmgr
>>51882030
unmanageable when you have more than 10 boot entires
>>51879994
This has already been patched.
>>51879994
meh.... this is hardly an issue really.... thats like calling single user mode on OSX a backdoor.
If someone has access to your box and your stuff isn't encrypted this doesn't really affect anything.
>>51882069
i will take your word for it, but why do you have 10 boot entries?
>>51882112
Where is the plane?
>>51882169
I quadruple boot ubuntu, mint, kali, and windows 10
>>51882530
that sounds like 4 entries to me.
