-Use case:
----------
-Usually when people do full disk encryption, it's not really full disk,
-instead they still have a /boot in clear.
-
-So an evil maid attack can still be done, in two passes:
-1) Clone the hdd, Infect the initramfs or the kernel.
-2) Wait for the user to enter its password, recover the password,
-luksOpen the hdd image.
-
-I wanted a real full-disk encryption so I've put grub in flash and I
-have the following: The HDD has a LUKS rootfs(containing /boot) on an
-lvm partition, so no partition is in clear.
-
-So when the computer boots it executes coreboot, then grub as a payload.
-Grub then opens the LUKS partition and loads the kernel and initramfs
-from there.
-
-To prevent hardware level tempering(like reflashing), I used nail
-polish with a lot of gilder, that acts like a seal. Then a high
-resolution picture of it is taken, to be able to tell the difference.
-
-The problem:
-------------
-But then comes the docking port issue: Some LPC pins are exported
-there, such as the CLKRUN and LDRQ#.
-
-LDRQ# is "Encoded DMA/Bus Master Request": "Only needed by
-peripherals that need DMA or bus mastering. Requires an
-individual signal per peripheral. Peripherals may not share
-an LDRQ# signal."
-
-So now DMA access is possible trough the dock connector.
-So I want to be able to turn that off.
-
-If I got it right, the X60 has 2 superio, one is in the dock, and the
-other one is in the laptop, so we have:
- ________________

- |
- ___________________|___
- | v |
- | Southbridge: LDRQ0 |
- | ICH7 |
- |_______________________|
-
-
-The code:
----------
-Now if I look at the existing code, there is some superio drivers, like
-pc87382 in src/superio/nsc, the code is very small.
-The only interesting part is the pnp_info pnp_dev_info struct.
-
-Now if I look inside src/mainboard/lenovo/x60 there is some more
-complete dock driver:
-
-Inside dock.c I see some dock_connect and dock_disconnect functions.
-
-Such functions are called during the initialisation (romstage.c) and
-from the X60 SMI handler (smihandler.c).
-
-Questions:
-----------
-1) Would the following be sufficent to prevent DMA access from the
-outside:
-> int dock_connect(void)
-> {
-> int timeout = 1000;
-> + int val;
-> +
-> + if (get_option(&val, "dock") != CB_SUCCESS)
-> + val = 1;
-> + if (val == 0)
-> + return 0;
-> [...]
-> }
->
-> void dock_disconnect(void) {
-> + if (dock_present())
-> + return;
-> [...]
-> }
-2) Would an nvram option be ok for that? Should a Kconfig option be
-added too?
-
-> config DOCK_AUTODETECT
-> bool "Autodetect"
-> help
-> The dock is autodetected. If unsure select this option.
->
-> config DOCK_DISABLED
-> bool "Disabled"
-> help
-> The dock is always disabled.
->
-> config DOCK_NVRAM_ENABLE
-> bool "Nvram"
-> help
-> The dock autodetection is tried only if it is also enabled
-> trough nvram.

-@chapter Rationale
-@anchor{#rationale}
-Most people think of security on the software side: the hardware is important aswell.
-
-This tutorial deals with reducing the number of devices that have direct memory access that could communicate with inputs/outputs that could be used to remotely command the system (or leak data). All of this is purely theoretical for the time being.
-
-@node Disassembly
-@chapter Disassembly
-@anchor{#disassembly}
-Remove those screws and remove the HDD:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0001,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0002,,,,JPG}
-
-Lift off the palm rest:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0003,,,,JPG}

-Lift up the keyboard, pull it back a bit, flip it over like that and then disconnect it from the board:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0004,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0005,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0006,,,,JPG}
-
-Gently wedge both sides loose:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0007,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0008,,,,JPG}
-
-Remove that cable from the position:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0009,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0010,,,,JPG}
-
-Now remove that bezel. Remove wifi, nvram battery and speaker connector (also remove 56k modem, on the left of wifi):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0011,,,,JPG}@* Reason: has direct (and very fast) memory access, and could (theoretically) leak data over a side-channel.@* @strong{Wifi:} The ath5k/ath9k cards might not have firmware at all. They might safe but could have access to the computer's RAM trough DMA. If people have an intel card(most T60 laptops come with Intel wifi by default, until you change it),then that card runs a non-free firwamre and has access to the computer's RAM trough DMA! So the risk-level is very high.
-
-Remove those screws:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0012,,,,JPG}
-
-Disconnect the power jack:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0013,,,,JPG}
-
-Remove nvram battery (we will put it back later):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0014,,,,JPG}
-
-Disconnect cable (for 56k modem) and disconnect the other cable:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0015,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0016,,,,JPG}
-
-Disconnect speaker cable:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0017,,,,JPG}
-
-Disconnect the other end of the 56k modem cable:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0018,,,,JPG}

-
-Unscrew those:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0020,,,,JPG}
-
-Make sure you removed those:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0021,,,,JPG}

-
-Once again, make sure you removed those:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0026,,,,JPG}
-
-Remove the shielding containing the motherboard, then flip it over. Remove these screws, placing them on a steady surface in the same layout as they were in before you removed them. Also, you should mark each screw hole after removing the screw (a permanent marker pen will do), this is so that you have a point of reference when re-assembling the system:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0027,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0028,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0029,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0031,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0032,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0033,,,,JPG}
-
-Remove microphone (soldering iron not needed. Just wedge it out gently):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0039,,,,JPG}@* @strong{Rationale:}@* Another reason to remove the microphone: If your computer gets@ref{#ref1,[1]} compromised, it can record what you say, and use it to receive data from nearby devices if they're compromised too. Also, we do not know what the built-in microcode (in the CPU) is doing; it could theoretically be programmed to accept remote commands from some speaker somewhere (remote security hole). @strong{In other words, the system could already be compromised from the factory.}
-
-Remove infrared:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0040,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0042,,,,JPG}
-
-Remove cardbus (it's in a socket, no need to disable. Just remove the port itself):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0041,,,,JPG}@* @strong{Rationale:}@* It has direct memory access and can be used to extract sensitive details (such as LUKS keys). See 'GoodBIOS' video linked at the end (speaker is Peter Stuge, a coreboot hacker). The video covers X60 but the same topics apply to T60.
-
-Before re-installing the upper chassis, remove the speaker:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0043,,,,JPG} @image{../images/t60_dev/0044,,,,JPG}@* Reason: combined with the microphone issue, this could be used to leak data.@* If your computer gets@ref{#ref1,[1]} compromised, it can be used to transmit data to nearby compromised devices. It's unknown if it can be turned into a microphone@ref{#ref2,[2]}.@* Replacement: headphones/speakers (line-out) or external DAC (USB).
-
-Remove the wwan:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0045,,,,JPG}@* @strong{Wwan (3g modem):} They run proprietary software! It's like AMT but over the GSM network which is probably even worse.@* Replacement: external USB wifi dongle. (or USB wwan/3g dongle; note, this has all the same privacy issues as mobile phones. wwan not recommended).
-
-This is where the simcard connector is soldered. See notes above about wwan. Remove simcard by removing battery and then it's accessible (so, remember to do this when you re-assemble. or you could do it now?)@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0046,,,,JPG}
-
-Put those screws back:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0047,,,,JPG}
-
-Put it back into lower chassis:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0048,,,,JPG}
-
-Attach LCD and insert screws (also, attach the lcd cable to the board):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0049,,,,JPG}
-
-Insert those screws:@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0050,,,,JPG}
-
-On the CPU (and there is another chip south-east to it, sorry forgot to take pic) clean off the old thermal paste (with the alcohol) and apply new (Artic Silver 5 is good, others are good too) you should also clean the heatsink the same way@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0051,,,,JPG}
-
-Attach the heatsink and install the screws (also, make sure to install the AC jack as highlighted):@* @image{../images/t60_dev/0052,,,,JPG}
-

-EC: Cannot be removed but can be mitigated: it contains non-free non-loadable code, but it has no access to the computer's RAM. It has access to the on-switch of the wifi, bluetooth, modem and some other power management features. The issue is that it has access to the keyboard, however if the software security howto @strong{(not yet written)} is followed correctly, it won't be able to leak data to a local attacker. It has no network access but it may still be able to leak data remotely, but that requires someone to be nearby to recover the data with the help of an SDR and some directional antennas@ref{#ref3,[3]}.

-Explain that black hats, TAO, and so on might use a 0day to get in, and explain that in this case it mitigates what the attacker can do. Also the TAO do some evaluation before launching an attack: they take the probability of beeing caught into account, along with the kind of target. A 0day costs a lot of money, I heard that it was from 100000$ to 400000$, some other websites had prices 10 times lower but that but it was probably a typo. So if people increase their security it makes it more risky and more costly to attack people.

-It's possible to turn headphones into a microphone, you could try yourself, however they don't record loud at all. Also intel cards have the capability to change a connector's function, for instance the microphone jack can now become a headphone plug, that's called retasking. There is some support for it in GNU/Linux but it's not very well known.

-@chapter Rationale
-@anchor{#rationale}
-Most people think of security on the software side: the hardware is important aswell.
-
-This tutorial deals with reducing the number of devices that have direct memory access that could communicate with inputs/outputs that could be used to remotely command the system (or leak data). All of this is purely theoretical for the time being.
-
-@node Disassembly
-@chapter Disassembly
-@anchor{#disassembly}
-Firstly remove the bluetooth (if your X60 has this):@* The marked screws are underneath those stickers (marked in those 3 locations at the bottom of the LCD assembly):@* @image{../images/x60_security/0000_bluetooth0,,,,jpg}@* Now gently pry off the bottom part of the front bezel, and the bluetooth module is on the left (easily removable):@* @image{../images/x60_security/0000_bluetooth,,,,jpg}@*
-
-If your model was WWAN, remove the simcard (check anyway):@* Uncover those 2 screws at the bottom:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0000_simcard0,,,,jpg}@* SIM card (not present in the picture) is in the marked location:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0000_simcard1,,,,jpg}@* Replacement: USB dongle.
-
-Now get into the motherboard.
-
-Remove those screws:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0000,,,,jpg}
-
-Push the keyboard forward (carefully):@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001,,,,jpg}
-
-Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0002,,,,jpg}
-
-Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0003,,,,jpg}
-
-You should now have this:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0004,,,,jpg}
-
-The following is a summary of what you will remove (already done to this system):@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001_overview,,,,jpg}@* Note: the blue lines represent antenna cables and modem cables. You don't need to remove these, but you can if you want (to make it tidier after removing other parts). I removed the antenna wires, the modem jack, the modem cable and also (on another model) a device inside the part where the wwan antenna goes (wasn't sure what it was, but I knew it wasn't needed). @strong{This is optional}
-
-Remove the microphone (can desolder it, but you can also easily pull it off with you hands). Already removed here:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001_microphone,,,,jpg}@* @strong{Rationale:}@* Another reason to remove the microphone: If your computer gets@ref{#ref1,[1]} compromised, it can record what you say, and use it to receive data from nearby devices if they're compromised too. Also, we do not know what the built-in microcode (in the CPU) is doing; it could theoretically be programmed to accept remote commands from some speaker somewhere (remote security hole). @strong{In other words, the system could already be compromised from the factory.}
-
-Remove the modem:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001_modem,,,,jpg}@* (useless, obsolete device)
-
-Remove the speaker:@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001_speaker,,,,jpg}@* Reason: combined with the microphone issue, this could be used to leak data.@* If your computer gets@ref{#ref1,[1]} compromised, it can be used to transmit data to nearby compromised devices. It's unknown if it can be turned into a microphone@ref{#ref2,[2]}.@* Replacement: headphones/speakers (line-out) or external DAC (USB).
-
-Remove the wlan (also remove wwan if you have it):@* @image{../images/x60_security/0001_wlan_wwan,,,,jpg}@* Reason: has direct (and very fast) memory access, and could (theoretically) leak data over a side-channel.@* @strong{Wifi:} The ath5k/ath9k cards might not have firmware at all. They might safe but could have access to the computer's RAM trough DMA. If people have an intel card(most X60s come with Intel wifi by default, until you change it),then that card runs a non-free firwamre and has access to the computer's RAM trough DMA! So the risk-level is very high.@* @strong{Wwan (3g modem):} They run proprietary software! It's like AMT but over the GSM network which is probably even worse.@* Replacement: external USB wifi dongle. (or USB wwan/3g dongle; note, this has all the same privacy issues as mobile phones. wwan not recommended).

-EC: Cannot be removed but can be mitigated: it contains non-free non-loadable code, but it has no access to the computer's RAM. It has access to the on-switch of the wifi, bluetooth, modem and some other power management features. The issue is that it has access to the keyboard, however if the software security howto @strong{(not yet written)} is followed correctly, it won't be able to leak data to a local attacker. It has no network access but it may still be able to leak data remotely, but that requires someone to be nearby to recover the data with the help of an SDR and some directional antennas@ref{#ref3,[3]}.
