The BootGuard status project is a community-driven effort to compile and maintain a list of mainboards and their respective BootGuard status. BootGuard is an Intel technology designed to prevent unauthorized firmware and software from running during the boot process.
The project aims to provide a comprehensive database of various computer models, categorizing them based on:
- Manufacturer and model name
- Device category (e.g., desktop, notebook, server)
- BootGuard status (enabled or disabled)
- Manufacturing mode status
- Coreboot support availability
This information is valuable for users, developers, and security researchers interested in understanding the security features and potential for custom firmware on different hardware platforms.
Crowdsourced Data: The project relies on contributions from the community to expand and update the list of devices and their BootGuard status.
Detailed Categorization: Each entry in the list provides specific details about the device, allowing users to quickly find relevant information.
Instructions for Checking: The project includes instructions on how users can check the BootGuard status of their own devices, promoting further contributions to the database.
