Reset Glitch Hack



From their Blog/wiki website. seems like quite an effort to go through for this.....


"""
We found that by sending a tiny reset pulse to the processor while it is slowed down does not reset it but instead changes the way the code runs, it seems it's very efficient at making bootloaders memcmp functions always return "no differences". memcmp is often used to check the next bootloader SHA hash against a stored one, allowing it to run if they are the same. So we can put a bootloader that would fail hash check in NAND, glitch the previous one and that bootloader will run, allowing almost any code to run.

Microsoft Announces Collaboration With CS2C in China

MS announcement

So Microsoft announced a formal agreement to work with one of the largest Linux firms in China. Interesting......

It was announced that it was for cloud services offerings in China, but I am sure it is also tied into the many agreements forged recently that has various vendors pay Microsoft patent royalties on the Linux implementations.



“While cloud computing promises to move computing to the next level, a critical challenge that many organizations face is rationalizing diverse technologies and different platforms,” said Lu Shouqun, chairman of China OpenSource Promotion Union. “The commitment between Microsoft and CS2C to provide mixed source solutions will not only allow the co-existence of different operation platforms in the cloud environment, but also enhance choice for customers.”
