I can't even.... Look up how the chip is hacked. Big freaking hint: It doesn't require a file on the same machine. Even if you somehow looked for one specific method of delivering one specific file (bigevilfile.bin just sitting on the same laptop, waiting to be executed), this information is open source and available to anyone who wants it. You can come up with a million different ways to get it onto a machine and execute it in a manner that will go unnoticed.

Good lord, Ron White really was right.

You can't fix stupid.
