The Role of the Firmware

Firmware is the middleman between the hardware components (the camera ports, the hard drive bay, the Ethernet jack) and the user interface you see on a monitor.

  • Requests to disable antivirus
  • Password-protected archives with no posted password

  • Re-sign with vendor private key (not possible usually), or
