To be fair, the PXE boot would not affext a powered off device, it would only be an issue if the device was powered on.
But this is just splitting hairs, you have a good point in that few people would expect a PXE boot attack, not to mention that it could interact with wake on lan, which would turn on a powered down computer.
If a magic packet is accepted, off isn’t off. 😉
That's fair.
It totally is splitting hairs and I was just being super technical lol
