A Reddit user gave Claude a raw BIOS dump from their laptop and asked it to unlock hidden firmware menus. Claude disassembled the binary, found the RSA signature-check function, and patched the verifier so it always returns true. The owner then flashed the modified firmware themselves. The article says there was no step-by-step prompting.
After flashing, the owner could reach settings the manufacturer hid. The article is secondhand, relayed from X posts, and gives no laptop model, prompts, or timings.
Flashing firmware with a disabled signature check carries risk; the source gives no details on backups or recovery, so check those before trying this.
I have a firmware dump for my own [laptop model] at [file path]. Disassemble it, explain how the settings menus are gated and where any signature check happens, and propose a patch to unlock the hidden options. Work only on a copy of the file and don't flash anything; show me the proposed patch and the recovery risks first so I can decide.
Plan, execute and review a cross-cutting refactor in small batches, with Claude Code making the edits and GitHub Copilot reviewing each PR.
Claude Code reads your coverage report, picks the riskiest untested modules and writes unit tests that pass, one small PR at a time.
