PDoS

PDoS attacks based on voltage change, clock speed change and USB voltage sticks.

Voltage Change

Malware can run to change the CPU voltage...this can cause component damage.Syvir EndPoint monitors the CPU Voltage for changes, when a change is detected, a hardware component test is performed every five minutes for several hours. This test alerts you if components start being stressed or a component driver has an issue.

Clock Speed

Malware can run to overclock the CPU speed...this can cause dangerous overheating and component damage.Syvir EndPoint monitors the clock speed for changes, when a change is detected, a hardware component test is performed every five minutes for several hours. This test alerts you if components start being stressed or a component driver has an issue.

USB Stick insertion

Certain types of USB sticks contain hardware that can inject high voltage into an endpoints USB socket, a hardware component test is performed. This test alerts you if the USB hub has been damaged.
