Addendum: the incident and response info: https://ello.co/ohj2eevi/post/AcOPfljWjTmfuFEkpc5Pbg , however it seems they've lost the 8 comments which contained the detailed updates. i can find archives in PDF if anyone cares? - the "signal" honey token service used to detect the TLS MitM is described here: https://ello.co/ohj2eevi/post/JwQUX_nGF4OhtaJXDySzjg . best regards, [ fwd is for posterity; with apologies by the megabyte, :o ] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: coderman <coderman@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2015 19:31:28 -0800 Subject: Re: [tor-talk] How does one remove the NSA Virus off the BIOS Chip as described by Snowden in the ANT Program To: <PARTIED TO REMAIN NAMELESS...> are you going to take a look, at least? there is a write up, using rpi2: $ flashrom -r bios.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 . . .
