Sure , I see that everyone is crying out for motherboard jumpers now...It's not that easy though , what do you think that writing the code it's all.Placing it on the BIOS memory would be , let's say also easy , but what then.It could read some arbitrary memory pools and dump them where , how would it comunicate with the r00ter?It would open a tcp port on a *BSD's tcp stack and let everyone in on port xxxxx.C'mon guys!!!I'm not saying it's not possible but it would be very difficult.It could load itself into memory after

boot time and do what?It would have to have different types of code for each os to open a door somehow for it's r00ter.I remember seeing some time ago on phrack a backdoor that was patched into the linux bZimage.That was really nice.As with our BIOS r00ter, it would be VERY difficult to do.Who knows, that's what they said about the pc processors few years back and look where we are now.Who knows......
