Linux command to hibernate and then reboot into a different OS

Linux command to hibernate and then reboot into a different OS

In this document I describe my setup about how to add a menu shortcut that will hibernate and reboot the system into a different OS (in my case, Windows), and then restore linux on the next reboot.

For this, I'll be using Arch Linux with systemd-boot as my boot manager, but in practice any bootloader that handles the LoaderEntryOneShot (a.k.a. BootNext) efivar should work.

NOTE It is advisable to not do this with window's fast boot feature active, since alternating the hibernation of two systems can cause shared partitions to get corrupted. However, if additional steps are taken in order to ensure the shared partition are unmounted before reboot, or no partitions are shared between the two OSs, this can be made to work with fastboot enabled which should give quite a boost in Windows' startup time.

Set the LoaderEntryOneShot/BootNext EFI variable

WannaCry|WannaDecrypt0r NSA-Cyberweapon-Powered Ransomware Worm

  • Virus Name: WannaCrypt, WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, WCRY
  • Vector: All Windows versions before Windows 10 are vulnerable if not patched for MS-17-010. It uses EternalBlue MS17-010 to propagate.
  • Ransom: between $300 to $600. There is code to 'rm' (delete) files in the virus. Seems to reset if the virus crashes.
  • Backdooring: The worm loops through every RDP session on a system to run the ransomware as that user. It also installs the DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor. It corrupts shadow volumes to make recovery harder. (source: malwarebytes)
  • Kill switch: If the website www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com is up the virus exits instead of infecting the host. (source: malwarebytes). This domain has been sinkholed, stopping the spread of the worm. Will not work if proxied (source).

update: A minor variant of the viru

How to passthrough SATA drives directly on VMWare ESXI 6.5 as RDMs

How to passthrough SATA drives directly on VMWare EXSI 6.5 as RDMs

There aren't many tutorials about this, the only tutorials I've found were about passing through entire PCIe cards to VMs, or refered to old ESXI versions (below 6.5) that used a more comprehensive desktop client instead of the web app. In v6.5, the web app was introduced and the desktop client was deprecated. You used to be able to setup RDMs in the desktop client, but with the introduction of the web console, this is no longer the case. This tutorial shows you how to pass SATA HDDs to the virtual machine on VMWare ESXI 6.5. This tutorial is partially based on VMWare's own KB and the now deprecated Forza IT blog post.

A word about VMWare ESXI 6.7

There is now an option while editing your VM's settings to add a New raw disk when you click `Add ha
