* This allows *runtime* validation of UEFI bootable media, such as Windows or Linux installers, which, considering the unreliability of USB flash drives, we assert is a a much better proposal than write-time validation that utilities like balenaEcther (and to a lesser extent MCT) provide. * Based on uefi-md5sum (https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-md5sum). * Unconditionally activated on ISO extraction for GPT targets for now. This will be changed to a user selectable option later. |
