#opensource #firmware day at Ruhr-Universität Bochum! This Saturday, the Fachschaft IT-Sicherheit an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 9elements Cyber Security, and the Open Source Firmware Foundation joined forces to enable the "Open Source Firmware Day @ RUB". The event was designed for students to get to know #firmware better and give them some insights for industry legends! Talks, Workshops, Firmware, Hacking, Food and Chatting - All day long! Thanks to Subrata Banik, Vincent Zimmer and Carl-Daniel Hailfinger for inspiring talks on Firmware, Firmware Security and Open-Source! Thanks to 9elements Cyber Security (Maximilian Brune, Leon Groß, Vojtěch Veselý, Marvin Drees, Alicja Michalska and many more) for workshops on coreboot on the HARDKERNEL odroid, and #firmware #security. A special thanks to Felix Singer, Felix Held, Nico Huber, and all the others from the #opensource #firmware community to come by and help out fellow newcomers! The event would not have been possible with the support of Lean Sheng Tan together with Lars, Nils, and Simon from the Fachschaft IT-Sicherheit an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. This event was a huge success, and we are looking forward for the next edition on this! Supported by HGI, CASA and the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy.

9elements Cyber Security pushes 34 patches into coreboot in order to improve Intel Corporation Xeon-SP Gen 1 Support. At Open Compute Project Foundation Global Summit we announce that we maintain the Xeon-SP Gen 1 source code in coreboot - and we keep pushing new patches into the coreboot tree in order to enhance the Xeon-SP support. Platform's like Wiwynn's Tioga Pass heavily benefit from those patches. We at 9elements Cyber Security take #circular #economy seriously, and keeping "older" platforms and SoCs in the tree - up to date and maintained - is the key for long-term support and maintenance. Check out the latest patches here: https://lnkd.in/e3e8TbkH)

We believe in an open and transparent culture, so we'd like to take the chance to respond to certain things that happend in the last couple of weeks. https://lnkd.in/eY8k-gE9

Intel Corporation 🤝 9elements Cyber Security Our strategic alliance continues to bear fruit. Our shared vision is clear: to deliver secure, transparent, and sustainable server solutions that empower our customers to evolve and thrive in the face of ever-growing compute demands 💪

BlindSpot Software GmbH just integrated BINARLYs Risk Hunt Service into it's FirmwareCI System. Now you are able to run any #firmware image through BINARLYs advanced service to check for any vulnerabilities - as part of your normal CI/CD pipeline. We are BlindSpot Software GmbH believe that testing should be easy-to-use and easy-to-setup. Thus we integrate 3rd-party solutions into our test framework so that you have it all in one place!

🔴 New article on our techblog 🔴 Three members of Criteo's hardware team attended #OSFC2024 to share their vision and meet members of the community. This article highlights the presentations that resonated the most with us. #opensource #hardware #infra Authors: Erwan Velu Anisse Astier Vincent M.

We believe in education, and firmware knowledge should always be free and open for everyone to learn about it. It was great to see full participation in coreboot Workshop during #OSFC2024 - everyone managed to get their 'first taste' in coreboot with building, flashing and booting coreboot on HARDKERNEL's amazing ODROID H4+! Truly incredible hardware best fits for hardware & firmware enthusiasts - fully OPEN hardware schematic with Intel's Atom CPU! As usual, every steps are detailed here for anyone who wants to try out: https://lnkd.in/e8TWFj4D We are very committed to keep promoting Open Source goodness & knowledge to firmware industry - more to come soon. Also quick shoutout to Arthur and Marcello for organising this workshop 🤟

In exactly one week from now, the firmware community takes over #Bochum - #OSFC2024 is around the corner! Firmware is the crucial part of every system - and every security mechanism is built on top of it, making it the most critical component in your infrastructure. #AI wave, KRITIS (critical infrastructure like #govtech and #health #tech), #cloud - everything runs on #firmware - and per default it is not #opensource, highly insecure and opaque. #OSFC2024 is featured in the next edition of 10xD magazine - pointing out the importance of an #opensource #firmware stack in #healthtech. Let's change the status quo - join the #OSFC2024, learn from each other, and spread the word! 10xD Prof. Dr. David Matusiewicz Daniel Nierhauve Sebastian Deutsch 9elements 9elements Cyber Security Bochum Wirtschaftsentwicklung Open Source Firmware Foundation Open Compute Project Foundation

Last week our team (Christian Walter, Lean Sheng Tan) visited Aspeed Technology Inc in Taipei, Taiwan to talk about the latest innovations from Aspeed - and how 9elements Cyber Security can support these product for their #opensource #firmware customers. Aspeed Technology Inc has been a very #opensource friendly company in the past - and #opensource will be the key to enable customers in the future. Thanks to Charles Kuan and Francisco Guo for welcoming us. We are looking forward collaboration with each other even more in the future.
