    摘要: An ESPI-based method and device for enhancing server security, including: S100, a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) monitors packet formats and instructions on an Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (ESPI) bus; S200, when the CPLD monitors an abnormal firmware Flash read/write operation, the CPLD records operation-related records in a Flash which is mounted to the CPLD; S300, the CPLD lights a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) corresponding to a system error signal line or a LED corresponding to a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) error signal line; S400, the CPLD determines whether to take over a CS0 signal or not; S500, when the CPLD determines to take over the CS0 signal, the CPLD requests to interact with a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and warns of a system security issue.

    摘要: A method for reconfiguring a bus device from a first configuration into a second configuration, wherein the second configuration is not visible to, and is not selectable by, an unauthorized host device that connects to the bus device through a peripheral port of the bus device is described. In the bus device, a received message transmitted by the authorized host device through the peripheral port of the bus device to which the authorized host device is connected is parsed and an instruction to reconfigure the bus device from the first configuration into the second configuration is detected. Responsive to detecting the instruction, a daemon signals reconfiguration of the bus device into the second configuration, and responsive to the daemon signaling, the bus device is reconfigured into the second configuration. Other embodiments are also described.
