    oa2intel

    I think, sign.bin generation is OEM and M$ deal, and Intel is not involved in that.

    A little of clarification to my previous post today.

    We all know that oa2intel works fine in most cases if used correctly. This is not that interesting anymore. My interest is, how to generate/extract pksign.bin in order to complete collection of three files required. This is particularly important if one would like to activate with the OEM other than those available (HP, DELL, J, ASUS), such as SONY, Toshiba, etc.

    pksign.bin is made by Intel. It is possible to get this correct bin from branded computer based on intel board.
    To do it you will need efivar.dll from the oa2intelwin (if possible to make reading this dll)
    you have to get something like this

    i`m way out of my depth here but i been reading that the itk v3.2 can save bios capsules for flashing so i `m assuming it has continued in newer versions too, well my idea was if you open a bios file in itk it loads it in too memory somewhere is it not possible to patch that memory with a 2.1 slic then get the itk to resave the file now encompassing the slic. as i said it was just a thought as really its way outta my depth.

    There's no any secret in pksign.bin - it is self-signed public key, one half of it is public key, the other half is signature, which is created exactly like signature in marker - by calculating SHA-256 hash of signed info (in case of pksign.bin signed info is public key itself) and signing DER-formatted hash by corresponding private key (the process of generation/validation was described by Crypto in Vista section about two years ago already). Thus to generate either marker or pksign.bin you'll "just" need to steal private key, which is not possible even theoretically cause private keys are stored inside OEM's special pci-card device and aren't exportable, and you can't break (factorize) public key (to re-generate private key out of it) because it's too long for known cracking tools.

    I am finding anmg's post to be very interesting. The table includes data of the encrypted pubkey:

    However, I am not sure how did you get these data. Is that a "dump" of RAM? I think, it will be beneficial for us if you give more detales about the steps of your technique and the tools used.

    efivar.dll from oa2intelwin should help, but I am not sure. Also using any bios dump utility may help to get this data.
    I have used another tool, which I promised do not to share.

    Isn't it just a plain EFI module or a part of it? Globally-Unique Identifier, found at dump folder of e.g. andy's tool after opening the EFI capsule???

    So with the new P67 chipset boards from MSI (and im guessing most other manufacturers) coming out very soon using the new UEFI BIOS means we are up s**t creek unless someone finds a workaround. After reading all 29 pages, chances dont look too good right?

    From my understanding UEFI and EFI are not exactly the same, correct?
    from reading the last 30 pages, it gives me the idea that the new UEFI bios's will not be able to be modified because of a signature that intel has implemented (and we cannot crack), or have i missed something?

    (Unified) Extensible Firmware Interface. It's basically the same. It's Intel that digitally signes their (U)EFI. I guess others will not make the effort to digitally sign. There is success at MSI EFI and Asus EFI already.

    So that will mean that Intel's boards are to be avoided at this point ??

    Still no tools to change options and settings in AMI Aptio (UEFI) bioses?
    I searched everywhere for AMIBCP for Aptio, MMTool, DMIEdit, Change Logo, Ami Flashers..
    I have just found out my Slate BIOS has SLIC, etc, but it has other options disabled/hidden..
    So, any way to enable them, would be great! (With official tools or any other way)

    Thanks!
