Connectionless trusted computing base recovery is described. An example of a system includes one or more processors to process data; hardware including a hardware RoT (root of trust); and firmware including a firmware TCB (trusted computing base), the firmware including the credentials including one or more certificates and one or more keys, wherein the one or more processors are to determine that the firmware TCB is compromised and that the hardware RoT is intact; issue new credentials by the hardware RoT to mutable firmware based on a version number or security version number (SVN) of the firmware; and revoke old versions of the credentials for the firmware.

Connectionless trusted computing base recovery

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to provide software support for a hardware component incorporated into a computing device with a variety of processor components supporting different instruction sets and with a variety of operating systems. An apparatus may include a main processor component of a computing device; a network device simulator coupled to a hardware component of the computing device, and to provide a simulated network device; and a bus network interface controller (NIC) simulator to provide a simulated bus NIC, the bus NIC simulator and the network device simulator to present the hardware component to the main processor component as the simulated network device accessible to the main processor component through at least the simulated bus NIC and a simulated network that couples the simulated bus NIC to the simulated network device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for providing software support for a hardware component of a computing device

Apparatus, system, and method having a first memory to receive a parameter associated with a second operating system protocol stack; and a first operating system protocol stack to be configured with parameter. The system includes a communication medium and a manageability module. The method includes monitoring content of messages communicated between a host client computer and a server computer over a network, inspecting the content of the messages for protocol parameters, providing the protocol parameters to a manageability module associated with the host client computer, and configuring a second operating system protocol stack associated with the manageability module to match a first operating system protocol stack associated with the host client computer.

Internet protocol (IP) address sharing and platform dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) mediator

Apparatus, system, and method having a first counter to record a number of invalid authentication requests, a first timer to set a first time period based on a value of the first counter, and an authentication module associated with the first counter and the first timer to receive an initial authentication request that includes a username and when said username is invalid, the module is to invalidate any subsequent authentication requests under the username during the first time period regardless of whether the subsequent requests includes a valid username. The system further includes a communication medium. The method includes receiving an authentication request with new information in a first session, validating the new information, and caching the validated new information in the first session.

Techniques for password attack mitigation

Apparatus, system, and method having a first memory to receive a parameter associated with a second operating system protocol stack; and a first operating system protocol stack to be configured with said parameter. The system includes a communication medium and a manageability module. The method includes monitoring content of messages communicated between a host client computer and a server computer over a network, inspecting the content of the messages for protocol parameters, providing the protocol parameters to a manageability module associated with the host client computer, and configuring a second operating system protocol stack associated with the manageability module to match a first operating system protocol stack associated with the host client computer.

Provided are a method, system, and program for communicating with a device. A kernel module is executed in memory and at least one kernel thread is executed in the memory to handle calls to device driver functions for the kernel module. The at least one kernel thread executes calls to device driver functions for the kernel module running in a kernel context.
