We had a great experience at #DebConf25!

We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.

It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.

Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?

Instead of infecting the operating system, bootkits embed into the firmware that controls how the system boots. Once installed, they load before the OS, making them nearly invisible to traditional antivirus tools.

Discovered in the wild as early as 2018, bootkits like LoJax, MosaicRegressor, and CosmicStrand revealed that threat actors, some at the nation state level, were exploiting the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface to gain long term and difficult to remove persistence. Even wiping your hard drive will not help if the firmware is already compromised.

Tools like CHIPSEC and firmware flashing utilities have been developed to detect or cleanse these infections, but prevention often comes down to using secure boot, firmware write protection, and ideally open source firmware projects like coreboot or libreboot that give you back control.

BIOS level hacking has always been one of the stealthiest and most dangerous forms of attack. Operating beneath the OS, malware embedded in firmware can survive drive wipes and reinstalls. While rare, these attacks are very real. From state actors using BIOS implants for espionage to researchers demonstrating how firmware can be weaponized, this layer is often ignored until it is too late. Projects like Libreboot and Coreboot aim to replace proprietary firmware with open alternatives, giving users more control and reducing the risk of hidden vulnerabilities.
