BSides Basingstoke Presentation

Posted on 19 July 2024

I was invited to return again to BSides Basingstoke but this year as the keynote speaker! I presented the talk “Old Maid, new tricks - Backdooring Linux Full Disk Encryption for remote forensic password recovery”.

In the talk I discussed the inner workings of BIOS Vs UEFI boot system, the weaknesses in them and the “quirks” of the different implementations of full disk encryption across several platforms. I ended the presentation with a live demo of me backdooring the Linux boot process in order to exfiltrate the entered full disk encryption password to a remote server.
