Whack-on-LAN: Inexpensive Remote PC Reset
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hardware and software lockups pose serious problems for the deployment, use, and maintenance of remotely deployed PCs. They require on-site human intervention, which can yield excessive downtime and unavailability. The best way to cope with this issue is to introduce a mechanism that enables a remote hardware reset, irrespective of a remote machine’s hardware or software state. We have developed a lightweight, cost-effective device capable of forcing a hardware reset over Ethernet. We describe its design and implementation, discuss relevant security implications, and review potential extensions to the technology.
