There is also the potential to mod the BIOS in a hot environment.
Shadow the BIOS to RAM, use a program on your hard-drive that mod's that
image and does a soft-reboot so the BIOS image is unaffected (since we're
mod'ing the BIOS image why do it half-assed) and suddenly your 'hidden'
whatever is sitting there.
You could do it while the system is online even if you're careful not
to mod anything but the BIOS image.
