Hack a PC using PXE Netboot

at · Tags: , , , , , ,

Our laptops are locked down, a normal user has only 2 boot options: from the hard disk or from the network. Removable media boot (Floppy, CD, …) is disabled. Network boot is allowed because the laptops are installed with Microsoft RIS (a network boot technology), and this feature is not disabled after installation.
This allows a user to boot from another image and access the hard disk without restrictions. Contrary to the arguments of the workstation installation team, this isn’t hard to do and you don’t need a specialized network environment with a Microsoft RIS server.
