    From Consumer 8 Product Guide
    Enhanced end-to-end security features

    From power-on to power-off, Windows 8 offers features that improve the security and
    reliability of the systems in your organization. From power-on to power-off, Windows 8
    provides a more secure foundation to help keep your businesses running.
    Trusted boot process
    The Windows 8 boot process is signed and measured, helping to protect the PC from
    malware or viruses.
    Secure Boot validates the integrity of the entire boot process, including the hardware, boot
    loader, kernel, boot-related system files, and drivers. Antimalware is loaded in advance of all
    non-critical Windows components. This means that malware, such as rootkits, are less able to
    hijack the boot process, or hide from antimalware software.
    On appropriately configured platforms supporting the UEFI 2.3.1, firmware authenticates
    Windows boot components to help prevent any attempt to start malware before the
    operating system is up and running. If a component is not corr ectly signed by Microsoft, the
    operating system starts the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) to automatically
    reinstall properly signed operating system components.
    Measured boot process
    On Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-based systems, Windows 8 can perform a comprehensive
    chain of measurements during the boot process that can be used to further validate the
    boot process beyond Secure Boot. Measured boot process enables all aspects of the boot
    process to be measured, signed, and stored in a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip. This
    information can be evaluated by a remote service to further validate a computer’s integrity.
    This process is called attestation.
    With strong checks to ensure that operating system components are kept safe, malware and
    other types of malicious software have much less of a chance taking over a PC than ever before.

    Andy - Have you looked to see why the RW-Everything reports from v1.5.x cause problems? Is it something with parsing the 64-bit memory addresses?

    Hi Andy, I used the 1.96 to modify d830 A16 bios with slic 2.1 but when you try to flash it, the .exe created doesn't work.

    Thanks for your follow up.

    But, for Asrock H61MHVS bios ver1.6 OR MSI H61 P31 which has 3 empty roms, the new 1.96 program NEED to go to ADVANCE and click REPLACE EMPTY MODULE, the program will give the correct UEFI bios with correct SLIC. Unlike 1.95, the manually HEX modded rom for Pubkey is needed to insert and replace the empty Pubkey rom.

    If use program 1.96 by default, it will output the wrong moded UEFI bios.

    Hi,

    does anyone know if it's safe to mod the new ASUS P8H67 BIOS 3506 (rel.date: 2012/03/07) with PTv1.96?

    Can I use the old RW-Report to mod the BIOS or do I need to create a new RW-Report with the new BIOS?

    Many thanks in advance

    If you use Dynamic method, then no rw report is required. You can easily use v1.96 :)

    The Dynamic method is automatically suggested by the tool, I think because the BIOS has SLIC2.0 inside.

    I've modded now one BIOS with RW-Report and one without and the result are two BIOS with the same CRC. So why does the tool asks me, if I really wanna go on without a RW-Report, as it's not needed?

    Yah... dummy AMI SLIC 2.0 ;)

    R/W report is optional for most of the EFI's; but some others (Phoenix, Dell) need it. As this is an universal tool, so it incorporates the option of asking the user about r/w report. :)
