Hello peeps,
Last night I was in the middle of reinstalling my windows (got up to reallocating the space on my ssd) when I gave up, shut down my pc and went to sleep. This morning when I turned my pc on, it automatically booted up using PXE boot.
During this process it showed me my MAC address and GUID and (i assume) it started searching for a DHCP server. The message:
"DHCP... (loading twiggly animation)"
Then it stopped and showed me this message:
"PXE-E53: No Boot Filename Received"
This was expected since I do not have a DHCP server set up as far as i know.
After failing to boot (since none of my other drives have windows installed yet), I went straight to the BIOS and disabled "PXE OPROM" and now it doesn't indicate PXE boot in the boot menu and boots normally.
I would like to know if there are any vulnerabilities that may have arisen from this boot. By this i mean if there are any security related problems such as rogue/malicious DHCP servers or if some of my files in my data drives have been accessed without me knowing.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
