This episode focuses on securing BIOS and UEFI firmware settings with administrative passwords to prevent unauthorized hardware configuration changes. We explain how these passwords protect boot order, enable or disable hardware components, and secure low-level system controls. The discussion also covers best practices for managing and documenting these credentials.

We provide examples of real-world and exam scenarios, such as preventing an attacker from booting from removable media or disabling hardware-level security features. Troubleshooting tips include recovering from forgotten BIOS passwords using manufacturer-approved methods while maintaining security compliance. Mastery of BIOS and UEFI password concepts ensures candidates can implement effective low-level security measures to protect server infrastructure. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
