Saw this on Twitter -
As I understand this is still the Management Engine thing? This was talked about quite extensively earlier this year.
Or is it a second vulnerability?
Still seems to be the same.
It is.
The talk should be online somewhere.
Like the blackhat presentation title says, you can hack a powered down computer with this.
If you feel like disabling it. This is the tool for you.
Use carefully. VERY Carefully.
Seriously, this is advanced level hacking. If fuck up, your stuff dies.
