Exploring Techniques For Rootkit Implantation On Network Cards

Security researchers have demonstrated how it might be possible to place backdoor rootkit software on a network card. Guillaume Delugr He used publicly available documentations and open source tools to develop a firmware debugger. He also reverse-engineered the format of the EEPROM where firmware code is stored, as well as the bootstrap process of the device.
