But machines booted with the patched Sergei Strelec 2020.09.21 could run a hidden script: unlock_mbr.exe — which decrypted the bootloader in memory without triggering the ransomware's "tripwire."
Hardware testing for CPU, RAM, and hard drives.
Utilities for testing hardware stability, including AIDA64, CPU-Z, and HWiNFO.
