Context: | Datenkompression ist ein Verfahren, das darauf abzielt, die Menge an Speicherplatz, die zur Speicherung von Daten benötigt wird, zu reduzieren und die Geschwindigkeit, mit der diese Daten übertragen werden können, zu erhöhen. Es gibt zwei Hauptarten der Datenkompression: verlustfreie und verlustbehaftete Kompression.                                                                                                                                                 |
|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1. Verlustfreie Kompression                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Bei der verlustfreien Kompression wird die ursprüngliche Datenmenge vollständig wiederhergestellt, wenn die Daten dekomprimiert werden. Dies ist besonders wichtig für Anwendungen, bei denen die Integrität der Daten entscheidend ist, wie z.B. bei Textdateien oder medizinischen Bildern. Ein bekanntes Beispiel für verlustfreie Kompression ist das ZIP-Format, das redundante Informationen entfernt, um die Dateigröße zu verringern.                                  |
| Ein weiteres Beispiel ist die Huffman-Codierung, die häufig in der Übertragung von Faksimiles verwendet wird. Hierbei werden häufig vorkommende Zeichen durch kürzere Codes ersetzt, was die Gesamtgröße der Nachricht reduziert. Diese Art der Kompression ist besonders effektiv, wenn die Daten ein hohes Maß an Redundanz aufweisen (Whitington, 2023).                                                                                                                    |
| 2. Verlustbehaftete Kompression                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Im Gegensatz dazu führt die verlustbehaftete Kompression zu einem gewissen Verlust an Datenqualität, was jedoch oft akzeptabel ist, um die Dateigröße erheblich zu reduzieren. Diese Art der Kompression wird häufig bei Multimedia-Dateien wie Bildern, Audio und Video verwendet. Ein bekanntes Beispiel ist das JPEG-Format für Bilder, das die Bildqualität reduziert, um die Dateigröße zu verringern, indem es weniger wichtige Bilddetails entfernt (Whitington, 2023). |
| Techniken der Datenkompression                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| Run-Length Encoding (RLE): Diese Technik wird häufig bei der Kompression von Bildern verwendet, insbesondere bei Schwarz-Weiß-Bildern. Anstatt jeden Pixel einzeln zu speichern, werden aufeinanderfolgende Pixel mit der gleichen Farbe als eine "Laufzeit" gespeichert, was die Datenmenge reduziert.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| •                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT): Diese Methode wird häufig in der Bild- und Audioverarbeitung verwendet. Sie ermöglicht eine verlustbehaftete Kompression, indem sie die Daten in verschiedene Frequenzbänder zerlegt und nur die signifikanten Koeffizienten speichert. DWT hat den Vorteil, dass es eine bessere lokale Detailerhaltung bietet als die diskrete Fourier-Transformation (Han et al., 2011).                                                                  |
| •                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Dimensionality Reduction: Diese Technik reduziert die Anzahl der Variablen in einem Datensatz, was auch als Datenkompression betrachtet werden kann. Methoden wie Principal Component Analysis (PCA) und DWT sind Beispiele dafür, wie die Dimensionen eines Datensatzes reduziert werden können, um die Analyse zu erleichtern und die Speicherkapazität zu optimieren (Han et al., 2011).                                                                                    |
| Fazit                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Datenkompression ist ein entscheidendes Werkzeug in der Informatik, das es ermöglicht, Daten effizienter zu speichern und zu übertragen. Die Wahl zwischen verlustfreier und verlustbehafteter Kompression hängt von den spezifischen Anforderungen der Anwendung ab, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Datenintegrität und die akzeptable Qualität der komprimierten Daten.                                                                                                       |

be reading this as a physical paperback book, printed and bound by
very expensive equipment. You may be reading it as an electronic
document (such as a PDF file) on your computer, tablet, or smart-
phone. Or, you may be reading it on some sort of special-purpose
eBook reader. Each of these scenarios has different characteristics.
Every page of the printed book is made up of hundreds of millions
of little dots, each of which may be white (no ink) or black (ink).
We cannot typically see the dots with the naked eye. The number
of dots is known as the resolution (from the word “resolve”). A low
resolution image is one where it is easy for the eye to resolve (that is,
distinguish) the individual dots. A high resolution image has dots
so small and tightly packed that the naked eye cannot distinguish
them.
A high resolution printer, such as the one printing the physical
copy of this book, may have as many as 600 or 1200 dots per inch
(dpi); that is to say, between 600 × 600 = 360,000 and 1200 × 1200 =
1,440,000 dots per square inch. The screen of a computer or tablet
may only have 100 to 300 dpi, but it can display many shades of
grey and colours. If the resolution is too low, we see blocky images.
Here is part of a capital letter A in black and white at 60 dpi, 30 dpi,
and 15 dpi:
We have used square dots here, such as may be used on a mod-
ern computer screen (we call them pixels, which is short for “picture
elements”). For viewing a page on a typical tablet computer, we
might have only 2048 × 1536 = 5,193,728 dots on the whole screen,
but they may be colours or greys, as well as black or white. When
printing a book like this, we have many more dots, but only black
ink. Let us say, for example, that we have a US Letter page (8.5
inches by 11 inches) and we are printing at a resolution of 1200
dpi. We have 1200 × 1200 = 1,440,000 dots per square inch, so we
have 1200 × 1200 × 8.5 × 11, or 134,640,000 dots on the page, each
of which may be black or white.
Here are some photographs, taken under a microscope, of letter-
ing as it appears in high quality printing, and on the much lower
quality, cheaper newsprint used for the daily newspaper:

galley and replacing not just a single character, but perhaps re-
typesetting a whole paragraph. Here is a galley, ready for printing:
Eventually, machines were developed to automatically place
the pieces of type based on what was typed on a keyboard and to
automatically justify each line. Such mechanical systems were in
common use until the advent of so-called phototypesetting. This
involved building an image by shining light through a series of sten-
cils onto photosensitive paper, then photographing it. Computer
typesetting supplanted both in the late twentieth century.

We have shown the river with a line. Notice that the word “fermen-
tum” appearing in almost the same place on two successive lines is
also distracting. The problem is difficult to deal with automatically,
and the text may have to be edited to fix it. The microtypographical
techniques discussed above can help a little – since there are fewer
widened spaces between words, the rivers will be narrower and
less noticeable.
You may wonder how type was set before computers. In much
the same way, it turns out, but with many more manual steps and a
lot of little pieces of metal. Here is one such piece, for the character
“n” at a particular size, in a particular typeface:
These are picked from a tray of boxes, by hand, and placed into
rows into a composing stick, each word separated by little metal
spaces, each row spaced by a metal strip (the leading). You can
imagine that many many copies of these little metal pieces were
required for each typeface and size, so it was an expensive business.
Because it will eventually be used for printing by being inked and
stamped or rolled on paper, the type is mirrored, and hard to read,
and one must be careful not to mix up “p” and “q”, or “b” and “d”.
(This is one possible origin of the phrase "mind your Ps and Qs".)
This painstaking process is shown on the opposite page.

The finished paragraphs of type are arranged in a galley. This
will be used to make prints of the page (or pages – two or four may
be printed from one galley, then folded and cut). You can imagine
how long it takes to make up the galleys for a book, and how much
time is required to justify each line by inserting exactly the right
spaces and hyphenating by hand. Mistakes found after test prints
can be very costly to fix, since they necessitate taking apart the

each column. For the line at exactly 45°, the two methods (row
and column) produce the same result. Here is an illustration of the
sorts of patterns of dots we see for lines of various slopes using this
improved procedure:
This image is 100 dots tall and wide. The results are not terribly
good, for two reasons. First, at low resolutions, the individual dots
are clearly visible. Moreover, the density of the lines varies. A
horizontal or vertical line of length 100 will have 100 dots over its
length, but the 45° line has 100 dots over a length of about 141 (the
diagonal of a square with sides of length 100 is
√
2 × 100), and so
its density of dots is lower, and it appears less dark.
When we are using a screen, rather than paper, to display our
line, we can take advantage of the ability to use more than just black
and white. And so, we can use varying shades of grey: dots which
are right on the line are very dark grey, dots which are just close are
lighter grey. Here is a line drawn in this manner, at three scales:
We can see that the line is smoother than would otherwise be the
case. If you are reading this book on an electronic device, you may
be able to see this effect on the text or images with a magnifying
glass. Here is another example, with a more complex, filled shape,
which might be used to represent an ampersand character:

With only black ink and white paper, we can draw both beautiful
letters and good line drawings, such as the diagrams of Bézier
curves from Chapter 2. But what about reproducing photographs?
How can we create the intermediate grey tones? Consider the
following two images: a photograph of a camel and a rather higher-
resolution picture of a smooth gradient between black and white:
We shall use these pictures to compare the different methods of
reproduction we discuss. From looking at the page (at least if you

Chapter 10. Words to Paragraphs
What do we notice? The left and right hand sides of the block of
text are straight – no ragged edges. This is called full justification. We
notice that some of the lines have a hyphen at the end, in the middle
of a word. Looking carefully, we see that the spacing between words
is not consistent from line to line. The last line of each paragraph
does not go all the way to the end; the first may be indented.
How do we build a line from a list of letters? We know that each
letter in a typeface has an origin, as well as an advancement which
specifies how far to move to the right after drawing a character. We
know also about kerning, which tells us that certain letter combina-
tions must appear closer together. Here is a line of text, showing
the (usually invisible) boxes which help to position each character:
“What’s happened to me”, he thought.
| e | n | e |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
If all our characters fortuitously added up to the correct width
for a line, or we were happy to break words with hyphens any-
where, or we did not want a straight right edge, this is all we would
have to do. We would draw the characters in order until we reached
the end of a line, and then start on the next line, moving down the
page the right amount (called the leading – pronounced “ledding”).
Alas, the world is not that simple, and we must add space to fill out
the line. This can look poor if done badly, especially when a narrow
column is used, such as in a newspaper:

Here, space has been added not only between words but be-
tween letters, to make the line fit. Generally, we like to add most
of the needed space between words, rather than between individ-
ual letters. Here is a paragraph typeset to three different column
widths:

Chapter 1. Putting Marks on Paper
The upper row shows high-resolution printing of lettering on
coated paper, such as might be used for a glossy pamphlet, under a
microscope at 20x magnification, and the same at 400x magnifica-
tion. The lower row is standard text of the London Times printed on
newsprint at 20x magnification and the same at 400x magnification.
The home or office laser printer works by using a laser to prepare
a roller in such a way that a powder will adhere only to areas where
the laser has not been shone. The powder (called toner) is then
transferred from the roller to paper, and bonded to it by heat. The
particles of toner behave rather differently from ink:
On the left is a word printed in 1pt, 2pt, 4pt, 6pt, and 8pt text
under a microscope, with magnification at 20x. On the right, the

If we have to manually pick a suitable threshold for each image
in a book to get even an acceptable result, the process is going to be
time consuming. Here is our black to white gradient at 40%, 50%,
and 60% thresholds:
These images bear almost no resemblance to the original. Before
describing some more advanced methods for grey tone reproduc-
tion, like the one used to make the images at the head of this chapter,
we shall take a brief historical detour – the problem of reproducing
grey tones is not intrinsically one of computer printing, but has
been important in newspaper and print production for hundreds
of years.
The process of printing is essentially one of duplication. In for-
mer times, if we wanted just one of something, we could have a
painter paint it, or a scribe write it down. We might even be able to

On the left is an idealised high resolution shape. In the middle,
just black and white at a lower resolution. On the right, prepared for
display on a screen supporting grey as well as black and white, at
the same lower resolution. This use of greys is known as antialiasing,
since the jagged edges in low resolution lines are known as aliasing.
This term originated in the field of signal processing and is used to
describe problems stemming from low-resolution versions of high-
resolution signals. Here is a photograph, taken under a microscope,
of such an antialiased line on a modern computer screen:
The left image is magnified 20x; the right image 400x. The
rectangular shapes you can see in the images are the separate Red,
Green, and Blue sub-pixels, which a monitor uses to build up all
the different colours and greys it may need (the monitor makes a
picture by emitting light and Red, Green, and Blue are the primary
colours of light.)
What might a reasonable minimum resolution be? To simplify,
let’s return to the scenario where we only have black and white
dots – no antialiasing. The resolution required to make the page
look smooth depends on the distance at which the typical viewer
sees it. For a computer screen, this might be twenty inches. For a
smartphone, eight inches. For a billboard, twenty or fifty feet (if
you have never walked right up to a billboard and looked at the
printing, do so – it is surprisingly coarse.) The limit of the human
optical system’s ability to distinguish the colour of adjacent dots,

Chapter 5. Typing it In
It is striking how similar the keyboards of these early typewrit-
ers are to those we use every day. Here is a keyboard from the early
days of computing. It belongs to the UNIVAC system built by the
Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation in 1953:
By the 1980s computer keyboards were almost identical in lay-
out to today’s, just rather larger and more solid. Here is an IBM
Model M Keyboard from 1985:
The Author’s own keyboard (Apple, 2015), with which this book
was typed, is much the same, but very much thinner and lighter.
Laptop keyboards must be smaller and thinner still.

61
What of languages other than English? We can divide them
into three categories. First, those which use the so-called Latin
alphabet (that is the familiar ABC. . . ), but which contain characters
with accents, or one or two extra characters only. Typically, these
can be typed on a standard keyboard, using either modifier keys
(holding down a key to make the next letter accented) or by using
short sequences of keys (typing “`” followed by the “a” key for “à”).
The second category is those languages, such as Modern Greek,
which do not use the Latin alphabet, but whose alphabet has only
a few tens of characters. These can be dealt with by using the
same keyboard, simply with different letters printed on it. The last
category is for languages such as Chinese. There are many tens of
thousands of characters, and it is impractical to build a keyboard
with that many keys, or to use one. Some system must be devised
to allow all these characters to be typed on a limited number of
keys. This is known as an input system.
One such input system in use in China, Singapore, and Taiwan
is Pinyin. It requires knowing the pronunciation of the word: west-
ernized spellings of the syllables are then used to find the right
character. We shall write the word
, which means cherry. In
the Pinyin system, we type the western characters representing the
sounds, and we are then are invited to disambiguate amongst the
possibilities, as the word is formed. The word for cherry sounds
like “ying” followed by “tao”. First, we type “ying”:
The computer displays a list of possibilities for the first character
of our word. It does not yet know which syllable or syllables may
follow. We choose the right one, and the computer replaces “ying”
with the proper character.

Chapter 6. Saving Space
or 522 bytes, about half of the original message length. Sending the
tree requires another 197 bits, or 25 bytes. (We do not discuss the
method here.) Of course, the longer the message, the less it matters,
since the message will be so big by comparison. These codes are
called Huffman codes, named after David A. Huffman, who invented
them whilst a PhD student at MIT in the 1950s.
A common use for this sort of encoding is in the sending of
faxes. A fax consists of a high-resolution black and white image.
In this case, we are not compressing characters, but the black and
white image of those characters itself. Take the following fragment:
This image is 37 pixels wide and 15 tall. Here it is with a grid
superimposed to make it easier to count pixels:
We cannot compress the whole thing with Huffman encoding,
since we do not know the frequencies at the outset – a fax is sent
incrementally. One machine scans the document whilst the machine
at the other end of the phone line prints the result as it pulls paper
from its roll. It had to be this way because, when fax machines
were in their infancy, computer memory was very expensive, so
receiving and storing the whole image in one go and only then
printing it out was not practical.
The solution the fax system uses is as follows. Instead of sending
individual pixels, we send, a line at a time, a list of runs. Each run
is a length of white pixels or a length of black pixels. For example,
a line of width 39 might contain 12 pixels of white, then 4 of black,
then 2 of white, then 18 of black, and then 3 of white. We look up
the code for each run and send the codes in order. To avoid the

Chapter 8. Grey Areas
You can see that the spacing of the dots is quite wide, and that
they can be quite large: this is counterintuitive but deliberate. By
making sure that the dots are properly separate, we make the image
easily reproducible, even on cheap, porous newsprint. Perhaps 50
to 80 lines of dots per inch is sufficient. For higher-quality coated
paper used in book production, we might be able to go as far as 150
lines per inch or lpi.
Early methods of halftone production involved placing a device
known as a halftone screen in front of photographic paper and
projecting the original image through it with the use of a camera
lens. The first halftone screens were made in about 1850 from a
fine cloth gauze by the British scientist William Henry Fox Talbot
(1800–1877). Later, they were commercially manufactured from
glass engraved with a grid of lines. The effect of these is, through
optical effects, to project a halftone image – a series of distinct dots
of varying size – onto the photographic paper. This can then be used
as the starting point for producing plates for printing. The image
has successfully been reduced to only black and white through
purely physical means. Figure I is one of the earliest halftoned
pictures in mass production: it shows Steinway Hall on East 14th
Street in Manhattan, printed in the Daily Graphic on December 2nd
1873. This was the first method of printing a photograph direct
from the negative with no manual intervention.
Returning to Computer Science, we can simulate the halftone
screen in software, to produce the appropriate dot pattern for print-
ing. Consider the three versions of our camel picture in Figure J. The
first one, with the smallest dots, seems to have the highest effective
sharpness and visual resolution. However, as the maximum dot
size increases, so does the number of possible shades. The middle
image, when viewed at a distance, is in fact a closer representation
of the original image. The last one has yet more sizes of dots (and
so, effective grey levels) but the resolution is now too coarse. We
turn to our gradient for another look, printed in the same halftones
as the camel pictures:

Chapter 5. Typing it In
Again, we choose the tone. Contextual information, such as
the previous character, is used to disambiguated the two-character
sequence and, in this case, the most common possibility is correct:
Different systems are popular in each part of Asia, and in each
generation, and depend upon the device in use. Indeed, one person
may use a particular system on their computer and entirely another
on their mobile phone, which has even less space for keys (real or
virtual).
We have seen how English and the world’s many other lan-
guages might be typed into the computer. There have been many
attempts to replace the keyboard for text input, such as voice recog-
nition, which have made some inroads in automotive and niche
applications, but for general purpose computing, the keyboard, real
or virtual, is still king.

is similar to a child cutting a potato to make a stamp – the wood
is removed in areas where the artist does not want ink, and then
ink is applied to the raised portions. Figure A shows a woodblock
print Der Formschnieder (The Blockcutter) from the Panoplia omnium
illiberalium mechanicarum (Book of Trades), published in Germany
in 1568. The detail achievable depends upon the closeness of the
grain of the wood, the properties of the ink and paper, and the
permeability of the wood to ink. Attempts to produce areas which
appear grey by using hatching or other patterns are likely to be
either too coarse to be convincing, or they result in a solid inked
area due to ink spreading across the surface of the block or along
the fibres of the paper.
The term intaglio (in-tah-lee-o), from the Italian intagliare – to
engrave – refers to a group of techniques in which a metal plate
has material removed manually, is rubbed with viscous ink all over,
has the excess removed carefully with a cloth, and is then pressed
onto a dampened piece of paper. The ink remains only in the lines
engraved in the plate, and is transferred to the paper by the pressure
of the press. Thus, the removal of material is normally done in the
opposite sense to that in the woodblock process: we engrave where
we want ink to be present, not where we want it to be absent.

Context: architecture) and compression algorithm, computer science students might also find it useful. However, nothing prevents any people who is curious about BIOS technology to read this book and get benefit from it. Some prerequisite knowledge is needed to fully understand this book. It is not mandatory, but it will be very difficult to grasp some of the concepts without it. The most important knowledge is the understanding of x86 assembly language. Explanation of the disassembled code resulting from the BIOS binary and also the sample BIOS patches are  presented in x86 assembly language. They are scattered throughout the book. Thus, it’s vital to know x86 assembly language, even with very modest familiarity. It’s also assumed that the reader have some familiarity with C programming language. The chapter that dwell on expansion ROM development along with the introductory chapter in BIOS related software development uses C language heavily for the example code. C is also used heavily in the section that covers IDA Pro scripts and plugin development. IDA Pro scripts have many similarities with C programming language. Familiarity with Windows Application Programming Interface (Win32API) is not a requirement, but is very useful to grasp the concept in the Optional section of chapter 3 that covers IDA Pro plugin development.  THE ORGANIZATION  The first part of the book lays the foundation knowledge to do BIOS reverse engineering and Expansion ROM development. In this part, the reader is introduced with:  a. Various bus protocols in use nowadays within the x86 platform, i.e. PCI, HyperTransport and PCI-Express. The focus is toward the relationship between BIOS code execution and the implementation of protocols. b. Reverse engineering tools and techniques needed to carry out the tasks in later chapter, mostly introduction to IDA Pro disassembler along with its advanced techniques. c. Crash course on advanced compiler tricks needed to develop firmware. The emphasis is in using GNU C compiler to develop a firmware framework.  The second part of this book reveals the details of motherboard BIOS reverse engineering and modification. This includes indepth coverage of BIOS file structure, algorithms used within the BIOS, explanation of various BIOS specific tools from its corresponding vendor and explanation of tricks to perform BIOS modification.  The third part of the book deals with the development of PCI expansion ROM. In this part, PCI Expansion ROM structure is explained thoroughly. Then, a systematic PCI expansion ROM development with GNU tools is presented.  The fourth part of the book deals heavily with the security concerns within the BIOS. This part is biased toward possible implementation of rootkits within the BIOS and possible exploitation scenario that might be used by an attacker by exploiting the BIOS flaw.  Computer security experts will find a lot of important information in this part. This part is the central theme in this book. It’s presented to improve the awareness against malicious code that can be injected into BIOS.  The fifth part of the book deals with the application of BIOS technology outside of its traditional space, i.e. the PC. In this chapter, the reader is presented with various application of the BIOS technology in the emerging embedded x86 platform. In the end of this part, further application of the technology presented in this book is explained briefly. Some explanation regarding the OpenBIOS and Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is also presented.  SOFTWARE TOOLS COMPATIBILITY  This book mainly deals with reverse engineering tools running in windows operating system.

As the tone moves from white to black, the spot grows gradually.
If you imagine the patterns tiled repeatedly across the page, you can
see that the white sections left in the corners as the black spot grows
themselves form white spots. Thus, we have a smooth transition.
Here is the result of dithering with these patterns for the camel and
the gradient:
Prop this book up against a wall, retreat to the other side of the
room (or perhaps half-way), and see which looks more camel-like.
What about at normal reading distance? Such halftone patterns are
used in most modern printing. Here are microscope pictures of the
camel as it is printed at the head of this chapter, at 20x and 400x

Figure B: Engraving. Detail of Der Kreuzbrunnen zu Marienbad, 1819.
The term engraving, in the context of printing, refers to the use
of the tools traditionally used for engraving decoration on, for exam-
ple, decorative silver-work, on metal plates instead, which are then
used for printing. Decorative metal engravers had used more prim-
itive versions of this technique to “print” their work-in-progress
when designing niello, a type of decoration where engraved lines
were filled with a black substance and polished for contrast. Mak-
ing proof prints with ink helped to show what the final design
might look like when blacked.
In the late fifteenth century, engraving began to be used for the
reproduction of simplified versions of paintings and for original
works. A copper plate would be inscribed with a hard metal tool
known as a burin. The plate could then be used to produce hun-
dreds of copies of a print. (Copper being soft, and the printing being
done under pressure, it would eventually produce faded prints.)
Engraving was a highly skilled and difficult process. Figure B is a
relatively simple and coarse engraving, a detail of Der Kreuzbrunnen
zu Marienbad published by Franz Satori in 1819. Figure C is a much
more accomplished and fine engraving, Melancolia I, by the German
master Albrecht Dürer.
Alternative intaglio methods were developed, hoping to im-
prove the fineness of the result, or lessen the amount of expertise
required. The mezzotint method, from the Italian “mezzo tinto”

Figure D: Wiping excess ink from a mezzotint plate.
meaning “half-painted”, involves using a device called a rocker
to roughen the plate all over. Ink gathers in the little indentations
made by such a process, leading to an entirely black image. Bur-
nishing tools are then used to flatten the copper in areas where ink
is not wanted. Because this process is gradual (one may burnish
more or less), the illusion of shades is easier to achieve. Figure D
shows a mezzotint plate being wiped off ready for printing. Un-
fortunately, due to the softness of copper and the smallness of the
indentations, these plates did not last long, and the quality of the
printing declined with each pressing. Figure E shows a mezzotint
print. Note the fineness of the grey tone reproduction.
Another alternative to engraving is the process of etching, in
which the whole plate is covered in an acid-resistant substance,
which is then scratched off using tools in areas where the artist
wants ink to appear in the final print. The plate is then washed with
acid, which roughens the metal in unprotected areas so that they
will hold ink. The plate is then printed as with any other intaglio
process. The great advantage is that the process is available to the
general artist, who can draw in this medium without learning the
difficult metalwork skills of the engraver. Improvements to the
process include “stopping out”, where the plate is briefly dipped
in the acid, more acid-resistant substance is added to certain areas,
and then the plate is dipped again. This allows better control over
grey tones. Figure F is an etching by Rembrandt, known as The
Hundred Guilder Print after the sum reportedly once paid for a copy.

Context: Part V Other Applications of BIOS Technology   Chapter 14 Embedded x86 BIOS Technology   PREVIEW   This chapter delves into the use of x86 BIOS technology outside of its traditional implementation—desktop PC and servers. It presents a glimpse of the implementation of x86 BIOS technology in network appliances and consumer electronic devices. This theme is interesting because x86 architecture will soon penetrate almost every sector of our lives—not as PC desktops or servers but as embedded systems. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has been realizing its vision of x86 everywhere since 2005. Moreover, as our lives increasingly depend on this architecture, the security of its BIOS becomes increasingly important. Therefore, this chapter presents an overview about that issue as well.   14.1. Embedded x86 BIOS Architecture   The embedded system theme sometimes scares programmers who haven't venture into this class of computing devices. Programmers accustomed to desktop and server development often view programming for embedded devices as an exotic task. However, as you will soon see, embedded devices based on x86 architecture share a fair number of similarities with their desktop or server counterparts. Thus, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to programming for embedded systems.  Let me start with the boot process of embedded x86 systems. Embedded x86 systems can be classified into two types based on their boot process, i.e., those that boot into an operating system stored in a secondary storage device1 and those that boot into an operating system stored as part of the BIOS. Figures 14.1 and 14.2 show the typical boot process for each type.                                                   1 A secondary storage device is a mass storage device such as an HDD or a CompactFlash drive.

Further research will reveal that this is a string to mark the header of a file compressed with 
LHA. 
 
You can try a similar approach to another kind of file. For example, every file 
compressed with WinZip will start with ASCII code PK, and every file compressed with 
WinRAR will start with ASCII code Rar!, as seen in a hex editor. This shows how 
powerful a preliminary assessment is. 
 
 
2.2. Introducing IDA Pro 
 
 
Reverse code engineering is carried out to comprehend the algorithm used in 
software by analyzing the executable file of the corresponding software. In most cases, the 
software only comes with the executable—without its source code. The same is true for the 
BIOS. Only the executable binary file is accessible. Reverse code engineering is carried out 
with the help of some tools: a debugger; a disassembler; a hexadecimal file editor, a.k.a. a 
hex editor, in-circuit emulator, etc. In this book, I only deal with a disassembler and a hex 
editor. The current chapter only deals with a disassembler, i.e., IDA Pro disassembler. 
 
IDA Pro is a powerful disassembler. It comes with support for plugin and scripting 
facilities and support for more than 50 processor architectures. However, every powerful 
tool has its downside of being hard to use, and IDA Pro is not an exception. This chapter is 
designed to address the issue. 
 
There are several editions of IDA Pro: freeware, standard, and advanced. The 
latest freeware edition as of the writing of this book is IDA Pro version 4.3. It's available 
for download at http://www.dirfile.com/ida_pro_freeware_version.htm. It's the most limited 
of the IDA Pro versions. It supports only the x86 processor and doesn’t come with a plugin

screen), you can see that it is indeed possible, at least when one
views the page from a normal reading distance. But how?
The simplest method of converting a grey image into a black
and white one is simply to pick a level of grey above which we
consider each part of the image black and below which we consider
it white. Here is our camel, printed using black ink for any part
which is more than 50% black (i.e. a mid grey), and no ink for any
part which is less than 50% black:
Well, we can see the shape of the camel, but the result is less
than spectacular. Let’s try moving the threshold to 40%:
We can’t see as much detail of the camel in this case, but at least
its legs are solid. If we move the other way, to a threshold of 60%,
things get even worse:

.1 A suggested sequence of chapters for a short introductory course.
Depending on the length of the instruction period, the background of students, and
your interests, you may select subsets of chapters to teach in various sequential order-
ings. For example, if you would like to give only a short introduction to students on data
mining, you may follow the suggested sequence in Figure P.1. Notice that depending on
the need, you can also omit some sections or subsections in a chapter if desired.
Depending on the length of the course and its technical scope, you may choose to
selectively add more chapters to this preliminary sequence. For example, instructors
who are more interested in advanced classification methods may first add “Chapter 9.
Classification: Advanced Methods”; those more interested in pattern mining may choose
to include “Chapter 7. Advanced Pattern Mining”; whereas those interested in OLAP
and data cube technology may like to add “Chapter 4. Data Warehousing and Online
Analytical Processing” and “Chapter 5. Data Cube Technology.”
Alternatively, you may choose to teach the whole book in a two-course sequence that
covers all of the chapters in the book, plus, when time permits, some advanced topics
such as graph and network mining. Material for such advanced topics may be selected
from the companion chapters available from the book’s web site, accompanied with a
set of selected research papers.
Individual chapters in this book can also be used for tutorials or for special topics in
related courses, such as machine learning, pattern recognition, data warehousing, and
intelligent data analysis.
Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, suitable as assigned homework. The exer-
cises are either short questions that test basic mastery of the material covered, longer
questions that require analytical thinking, or implementation projects. Some exercises
can also be used as research discussion topics. The bibliographic notes at the end of each
chapter can be used to find the research literature that contains the origin of the concepts
and methods presented, in-depth treatment of related topics, and possible extensions.
T
o the Student
We hope that this textbook will spark your interest in the young yet fast-evolving field of
data mining. We have attempted to present the material in a clear manner, with careful
explanation of the topics covered. Each chapter ends with a summary describing the
main points. We have included many figures and illustrations throughout the text to
make the book more enjoyable and reader-friendly. Although this book was designed as
a textbook, we have tried to organize it so that it will also be useful to you as a reference

It might surprise you that even the photographic process has
trouble representing grey tones. Photographic film consists of parti-
cles of compounds of silver, suspended in a gel. When exposed to
light, tiny changes to the crystal structure record an invisible image.
When developed, each particle is either converted to silver (which
will appear black in the final photograph), or not thus converted
(which will appear white). The process of enlarging the photograph
from the negative to the positive paper print may introduce greys
by dint of its analogue nature, of course, but if enlarged enough,
one can see the so-called film grain clearly. Figure G shows an en-
largement of a photograph of a plain grey card. Under a powerful
electron microscope, in Figure H, we can see the individual crystals
on the photographic film. None of the methods we have seen so
far allow for the automatic conversion of photographic content to a
printable form such as a plate which might be wanted for a daily
newspaper. We have a grey tone image, in the form of a photo-
graphic negative. Our printing process, however, allows only black
and white, so we wish to automatically convert the grey tones to a
series of regularly spaced dots whose diameter reflects the level of
grey. Here is our gradient, followed by its so-called halftone:

Context: book, I am only concerned with pure machine code output because you are dealing with the 
hardware directly without going through any software layer. 
 
Linker script can control every aspect of the linking process, such as the relocation 
of the compilation result, the executable file format, and the executable entry point. Linker 
script is a powerful tool when combined with various GNU binutils.4 Figure 3.2 also shows 
that it's possible to do separate compilation, i.e., compile some assembly language source 
code and then combine the object file result with the C language compilation object file 
result by using LD linker. 
 
There are two routes to building a pure machine code or executable binary if you 
are using GCC: 
 
1. Source code compilation Æ Object file Æ LD linker Æ Executable binary 
2. Source code compilation Æ Object file Æ LD linker Æ Object file Æ Objcopy Æ 
Executable binary 
 
 
This section deals with the second route. I explain the linker script that's used to 
build the experimental PCI expansion ROM in part 3 of this book. It's a simple linker script. 
Thus, it's good for learning purposes. 
 
Start with the basic structure of a linker script file. The most common linker script 
layout is shown in figure 3.3. 
 
 
Figure 3.3 Linker script file layout 
 
 
Linker script is just an ordinary plain text file. However, it conforms to certain 
syntax dictated by LD linker and mostly uses the layout shown in figure 3.3. Consider the 
makefile and the linker script used in chapter 7 as an example. You have to review the 
makefile with the linker script because they are tightly coupled. 
                                                                                                                            
 
3 The format of an executable file is operating system dependent. 
4 GNU binutils is an abbreviation for GNU binary utilities, the applications that come with GCC for 
binary manipulation purposes. 
6 Execution environment is the processor operating mode. For example, in a 32-bit x86-compatible 
processor, there are two major operating modes, i.e., 16-bit real mode and 32-bit protected mode.

Context: Preface        BIOS DISASSEMBLY NINJUTSU UNCOVERED – THE BOOK  For many years, there has been a myth among computer enthusiasts and practitioners that PC BIOS (Basic Input Output System) modification is a kind of black art and only a handful of people can do it or only the motherboard vendor can carry out such a task.  On the contrary, this book will prove that with the right tools and approach, anyone can understand and modify the BIOS to suit their needs without the existence of its source code. It can be achieved by using a systematic approach to BIOS reverse engineering and modification. An advanced level of this modification technique is injecting a custom code to the BIOS binary. There are many reasons to carry out BIOS reverse engineering and modification, from the fun of doing it to achieve higher clock speed in overclocking scenario, patching certain bug, injecting a custom security code into the BIOS, up to commercial interest in the embedded x86 BIOS market.  The emergence of embedded x86 platform as consumer electronic products such as TV set-top boxes, telecom-related appliances and embedded x86 kiosks have raised the interest in BIOS reverse engineering and modification. In the coming years, these techniques will become even more important as the state of the art bus protocols have delegate a lot of their initialization task to the firmware, i.e. the BIOS. Thus, by understanding the techniques, one can dig the relevant firmware codes and understand the implementation of those protocols within the BIOS binary. The main purpose of the BIOS is to initialize the system into execution environment suitable for the operating system. This task is getting more complex over the years, since x86 hardware evolves quite significantly. It’s one of the most dynamic computing platform on earth. Introduction of new chipsets happens once in 3 or at least 6 month. This event introduces a new code base for the silicon support routine within the BIOS. Nevertheless, the overall architecture of the BIOS is changing very slowly and the basic principle of the code inside the BIOS is preserved over generations of its code. However, there has been a quite significant change in the BIOS scene in the last few years, with the introduction of EFI (extensible Firmware Interface) by several major hardware vendors and with the growth in OpenBIOS project. With these advances in BIOS technology, it’s even getting more important to know systematically what lays within the BIOS. In this book, the term BIOS has a much broader meaning than only motherboard BIOS, which is familiar to most of the reader. It also means the expansion ROM. The latter term is the official term used to refer to the firmware in the expansion cards within the PC, be it ISA, PCI or PCI Express. So, what can you expect after reading this book? Understanding the BIOS will open a new frontier. You will be able to grasp how exactly the PC hardware works in its lowest level. Understanding contemporary BIOS will reveal the implementation of the latest bus protocol technology, i.e. HyperTransport and PCI-Express. In the software engineering front, you will be able to appreciate the application of compression technology in the BIOS. The most important of all, you will be able to carry out reverse engineering using advanced techniques and tools. You will be able to use the powerful IDA Pro disassembler efficiently. Some reader with advanced knowledge in hardware and software might even want to “borrow” some of the algorithm within the BIOS for their own purposes.  In short, you will be on the same level as other BIOS code-diggers. This book also presents a generic approach to PCI expansion ROM development using the widely available GNU tools. There will be no more myth in the BIOS and everyone will be able to learn from this state-of-the-art software technology for their own benefits.  THE AUDIENCE  This book is primarily oriented toward system programmers and computer security experts. In addition, electronic engineers, pc technicians and computer enthusiasts can also benefit a lot from this book. Furthermore, due to heavy explanation of applied computer architecture (x86

Context: Figure 6.3 shows the commands applicable to cbrom. Displaying the options or help in cbrom is just like in DOS days; just type /? to see the options and their explanation.  Now, get into a little over-the-edge cbrom usage. Remove and reinsert the system BIOS extension in Iwill VD133 BIOS. This BIOS is based on Award BIOS version 4.50PG code. Thus, its system BIOS extension is decompressed into segment 4100h during POST, not to segment 1000h as you saw in chapter 5, when you reverse engineered Award BIOS. Here is an example of how to release the system BIOS extension from this particular BIOS binary using cbrom in a windows console:  E:\BIOS_M~1>CBROM207.EXE VD30728.BIN /other 4100:0 release CBROM V2.07 (C)Award Software 2000 All Rights Reserved. [Other] ROM is release E:\BIOS_M~1>   Note that the system BIOS extension is listed as the "other" component. Now, see how you insert the system BIOS extension back to the BIOS binary:  E:\BIOS_M~1>CBROM207.EXE VD30728.BIN /other 4100:0 awardext.rom CBROM V2.07 (C)Award Software 2000 All Rights Reserved. Adding awardext.rom .. 66.7%  E:\BIOS_M~1>   So far, I've been playing with cbrom. The rest is just more exercise to become accustomed with it.  Proceed to the last tool, the chipset datasheet. Reading a datasheet is not a trivial task for a beginner to hardware hacking. The first thing to read is the table of contents. However, I will show you a systematic approach to reading the chipset datasheet efficiently:  1. Go to the table of contents and notice the location of the chipset block diagram. The block diagram is the first thing that you must comprehend to become accustomed to the chipset datasheet. And one more thing to remember: you have to be acquainted with the bus protocol, or at least know the configuration mechanism, that the chipset uses. 2. Look for the system address map for the particular chipset. This will lead you to system-specific resources and other important information regarding the address space and I/O space usage in the system. 3. Finally, look for the chipset register setting explanation. The chipset register setting will determine the overall performance of the motherboard when the BIOS has been executed. When a bug occurs in a motherboard, it's often the chipset register value initialization that causes the trouble.   You may want to look for additional information. In that case, just proceed on your own.   5
