While this isn't specifically an OpenBSD issue, since OpenBSD emphasizes
security this seems like a good place to ask.
As far as I can tell the "Intel Management Engine" (IME) is a gaping
backdoor into every recent Intel-based system. My searches on the 'net
haven't turned up much useful information about it.
I'd really like to find documentation on how to configure and use it,
though I'd settle for just enough to know how to lock it down or disable
it such that it can't be used to attack me from the 'net.
While this wouldn't work for a laptop, for desktop systems it might be
sufficient to use an add-in NIC rather than the built-in one -- but the
limited info I've found suggests that the IME may be able to snoop on
all devices and so defeat this tactic. Does anyone here know?
Thanks for any information,
Dave
