Ask HN: Integrity of BIOS update?
I want to update the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard as this hopefully solves a problem. However, the archive containing the BIOS update and flashing tool can only be downloaded over http and there is no way to verify it's integrity as neither signed or non-signed checksums are available.
I'm extremely uncomfortable with just installing the update without being able to verify it's integrity, as I would forever think about if the BIOS has been modified in case the download server has been compromised or by MITM attack while I'm downloading.
What can I do?
