Deguard: turning a T480 into a coreboot laptop (10-min talk + live demo)
文章介绍了一个名为deguard的工具,通过利用ME 11.x中的CVE-2017-5705漏洞绕过Intel BootGuard,使 Skylake/Kaby-Lake/Coffee-Lake系列笔记本能够运行无签名固件。该工具在Dasharo Developers vPub 0xE会议上展示,并为社区在8th-gen Intel设备上开发coreboot提供了可能。 2025-5-29 10:25:23 Author: www.reddit.com(查看原文) 阅读量:35 收藏

Intel BootGuard has kept most Skylake/Kaby-Lake/Coffee-Lake laptops locked away from coreboot – until now.

At the end of 2024, Ubuntu developer Mate Kukri introduced deguard, a small utility that leverages CVE-2017-5705 inside ME 11.x to disable BootGuard fuses in SRAM. The result: previously “un-coreboot-able” machines – e.g. Lenovo T480/T480s and Dell OptiPlex 3050 – can boot unsigned firmware again. It has been presented and discussed at the Dasharo Developers vPub 0xE, you can watch the presentation and look through the slides below.

🔹 What deguard does

  • "Downgrades ME via SPI flash overwrite"

  • "Patches BootGuard fuses on-the-fly"

  • "Lets you sign nothing at all – coreboot just runs"

🔹 Why it matters

  • "Opens the door for community coreboot ports on 8th-gen Intel laptops"

  • "Gives Libreboot & vendors like NovaCustom a path to newer hardware"

  • "Great teaching example of how not to design a root-of-trust"
