That's cool, but is it really a "hack" if you haven't actually cracked
it yet? :)
I'm a bit confused about what you're doing. It sounds like HP has a
program that you can run in user-space on Linux that access the bios
settings of the machine it's running on. Is that the case?
I'm a bit surprised that it lets you guess passwords forever, but I
suppose if I knew it would take 180 trillion years to brute force I
might not bother writing any code to lock out the party that's trying
to crack the code, either.
