Hello World

So this is the first post of what I hope will be a rather informative cybersecurity / technological projects blog.

I should probably start by introducing myself,

I'm Harry Brennan,
I'm a Purdue cybersecurity student and an independent cybersecurity researcher.
I've conducted research into the security of voting machines (Specifically the Diebold AccuVote TSX), worked on hardening laptops against known and suspected vulnerabilities, and like to tinker with things in my spare time.
I build and fly drones, and like working on old cars in my free time.

Flashing coreboot to a T420: day 1

For the past few months, I've been experimenting with hardening thinkpad against attacks and trying to reduce attack surfaces as much as possible. One thing I've been meaning to do for a while is install coreboot + seaBIOS as the T420, t430, and x220, the machines I've been working with, are all supported. I disassembled the test t420 today, removed the motherboard, and located the flash chip. Unfortunately a low-quality soic-8 clip prevented me from being able to flash the bios. Hopefully the new one coming tomorrow will fix that.
