What is Shimmer?

Shimmer is an exploit found in the ChromeOS shim kernel that utilitzes modified RMA factory shims to gain code execution at recovery.

How does it work?

RMA shims are a factory tool allowing certain authorization functions to be is signed, but only the KERNEL partitions are checked for signatures by the firmware. We can edit the other partitions to our will, as long as the characters contained in those edits are equal to the amount of characters in the original.
