Debotnet modern processor

It's just a meme faggots.

Pretty much all SBCs are use proprietary SOCs based on ARM. Raspberry Pi refuses to even boot without proprietary binary blobs stored on the Videocore GPU.

You'll be sorry we couldn't stop a terrorist attack because we couldn't remotely get into their computer. I wish Linus would stop being a faggot and cooperate with the US government already.

I don't even know if you're jocking.

Sure.

Nope, just like I won't be sorry that the next mass shooting won't be stopped because I didn't support ridiculous gun laws.

Jeez how many more mass shootings do we need to organize before people willingly bend over to gun control laws and more nothing-to-hide botnet hardware?

These goys are starting to piss me off.

Oops wrong forum, how do I delete this?

I kid you not, this guy is doing god work on trying to hack intel x86 processor

based Russian hacker is based

The thing is, this only work for processor that are using SMM as operating mode. I believe there are i5core that uses SMM but I'm not sure whether it also came together with intel ME. If so, I'm not sure this why is this russian guy put a lot of effort into hacking this stuff if there's intel ME in it.

what do you mean? your processor has full access to the virtual machines, just as the kernel has full access to your processes

software only? yes there is a small number of choices.
software + hardware? no. lowRISC might become the first system to achieve it later this year. I think the Ben Nanonote (>>598021) uses a proprietary processor, but this isn't a problem in the Ben Nanonote's case. Everything else in it is libre, which puts it in a similar situation to the Novena laptop in terms of libre hardware+software.

I'm pretty sure those $3000 POWER8 workstation boards are totally free.

Of course! The best way to beat a microcode backdoor is to use hardware that can be phreaked with a passive thermal imaging camera from a mile away!

If they want to fuck you, it's easy for them, anyway.

Pretty sure the Ben Nanonote is all free, at least that was the reason I was given for it having specs comparable to a higher end PDA from the year 2000 (including lack of wifi) when it was released in 2010.

Perhaps he's working on that because it's easier to exploit than the management engine.

Seems like the best way to deal with hardware level backdoors is with hardware of your own.

Just of the top of my head: what if you put your PC in a faraday cage and put a device between your PC and router that only creates a physical connection when you're actually sending/receiving data, to minimize the time you're actually connected to a network.

Ugly af, maybe it's better to find a way to integrate the faraday cage directly into your tower.

Nice try NSA.

That would be cool, and yea, I don't think IO peripherals need to be inside the cage, just the tower.

Well you want to be really sure that your keyboard isn't transmitting either.

It shouldn't be that hard to write a microcode patch, given you have access to a hardware microcode flasher in case you brick it and backups in case you break the chip somehow fucking with the voltage regulators or some shit, it'll be no different than writing a homebrew exploit for a game console really
