Disabling Intel ME 11 via undocumented mode http://blog.ptsecurity.com/2017/08/disabling-intel-me.html
I just managed (few hours ago) to read this article (way after replying to previous thread about Dell HAP, I read only few intro paragraphs)... It is, after all, amazing how far these two people, *Mark Ermolov and Maxim Goryachy* progressed with ME debugging/cracking and understanding how ME is connected/related to the INTEL platforms' bring up!
I just stumbled over it upon searching about ME, and I know what they did achieve previously. They achieved some steps forward... :-)
I did not see that this article was published before on Coreboot (excuse me for my ignorance if I missed it), but it is worth reading, every word of it, especially the second part!
What is described on the second part is way (much) more than I was willing to lament on (since in the lieu of the Legal issues). Especially on BringUP stages. Excellent read!
Something is definitely changing in the Open Source World... And I say, I am very happy to read such articles!
Man, there are very serious people out there trying to demystify secrets.
I will read again this article later, very concentrated... Trying to put some more comprehensive picture in my mind.
Thank you, all of you, Black Hat, Positive Technology, and others!
Molodci, rebjata!
