This is Golden

>>56016305
Microsoft leaked the golden keys that unlock Windows-powered tablets, phones and other devices sealed by Secure Boot – and is now scrambling to undo the blunder.

These skeleton keys can be used to install non-Redmond operating systems on locked-down computers. In other words, on devices that do not allow you to disable Secure Boot even if you have administrator rights – such as ARM-based Windows RT tablets – it is now possible to sidestep this block and run, say, GNU/Linux or Android.

What's more, it is believed it will be impossible for Microsoft to fully revoke the leaked keys.

And perhaps most importantly: it is a reminder that demands by politicians and crimefighters for special keys, which can be used by investigators to unlock devices in criminal cases, will inevitably jeopardize the security of everyone.

Oh, the famous attempt at a backdoor where only the developer of said backdoor has access...

So can I run Linux on the Surface RT line now?

>>56016659
probably

>>56016659
If you have the know how, yes.

But, the ones who will actually benefit from it are ordinary malware writers who now have a explicit conduit for their code to root the device and take over. Ordinary because the high profile ones already had and we didn't know.
