ICisco yenze inkqubo yokhuselo kuhlaselo olujolise kwirekhodi ye-master boot Vula Umnikezi. Esi sixhobo sinokuthintela i -hlengware kunye nezinye iinkqubo ezinobungozi ezifuna ukosulela icandelo le-MBR. Nangona sisixhobo esenzelwe iinkqubo zokusebenza zeMicrosoft Windows kwaye le yibhlog yeLinux, kodwa sihlala sinika iindaba ngesoftware yemithombo yasimahla nevulekileyo ngokubanzi.
Isixhobo ekuthethwa ngaso ibizwa ngokuba yi-MBRFilter kwaye isebenza ngokusayina inkqubo yediski kunye nokubeka icandelo kwimowudi yokufunda-kuphela ukuze ifundwe kuphela kwaye kuthintele umntu wesithathu ngeenjongo ezimbi ukubhala ikhowudi kuyo ngezinye iinjongo ezithandabuzekayo. Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba uCisco uyenzile phantsi kwefilosofi yomthombo ovulekileyo kunye neenguqulelo zazo zombini i-32 kunye ne-64-bit. Ungajonga ikhowudi ngokufikelela kwiphepha leprojekthi kwiGithub.
Nangona ngoku siphila kwixesha le-UEFI, kwabo bangakwaziyo ukuba yintoni i-MBR okanye ikhoyo (kwiinkqubo ezine-BIOS), yithi licandelo elifunekayo lediski kwaye linekhowudi ephumelelayo egcinwe Icandelo lokuqala lehard drive ukuze likwazi ukumilisela okanye ukuqala umthwalo weebhutsiro boot loader yenkqubo yokusebenza (kule meko yiWindows). Ulwazi malunga nediski, izahlulelo kunye nenkqubo yefayile efomathiweyo ihlala apho.
Eli licandelo elililungelo apho ootsotsi abaninzi babekelwe ukuba benze uhlaselo lwabo kwaye benze ukuba i-malware ihlale kuloo ndawo, ibangela iingxaki kwiikhompyuter ezosulelekileyo ezazingenaso isisombululo esilula. Ngamanye amaxesha bekuyimfuneko ukufomatha ikhompyuter okanye kweyona meko intle ukusebenzisa izixhobo ezithile ukususa oku kucaphuka kuhlala kufihliwe kwi-antivirus eninzi (jonga izihlangu okanye iingcambu zenqanaba leebhutsi). Ngoku iCisco ifuna ukuyiphepha le nto ngesixhobo sayo kwaye ibonelele ngokhuseleko oluncinci ...
