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.
