There's an interesting article about new way of disabling IME, but it's in Russian language.

Enjoy.

tl;dr
To neuter ME you'll need Intel ME System Tools. In the "ME Kernel" section of FIT (Flash Image Tool), there's a "Reserved" value. Set it to 1. This kills the ME.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Op you rock. Still not clicking it though.
Where can I find the flash image tool? I saw some dubious links using a search engine.
Or are you talking about me_cleaner.py? If so is it just literally a matter of setting a bit in the microcode to disable it? Which bit if so?
Julian Taylor
Are we talking about new processors?
Nolan Hernandez
Yes in theory this should work on post skylake not just pre haswell.
Jaxon Edwards
That's not Putin's achievement in any way though, so your picture is not applicable here.
Owen Jones
It's just an IT-centered Digg/Slashdot/Reddit in Russian.
If only you were that afraid to click on Reddit links, fellows.

I saw the native English-language version of this on 4chan...

Thank you user, but now you have to kindly go back.

TL;DR
The " High Assurance Platform" is NSA botnet ( how surprising (not)).
More parts of the ME can be removed thanks to this discovery.
The removed part makes the ME go into "TemporaryDisable mode".
Which allows the CPU to initialize without the ME activated.
This hack doesn't work on Apollo Lake platforms.
It's behind cloudflare you twat and I bet that you would probably post a shortened link
true

Therefore, we can expect custom BIOSes (like libreboot) that exploit this new discovery soon?
Juan Collins
Did you read the blog post you just shared?
The HAP is a mode provided for the NSA so they don't have the same potential vulnerabilities that normalfags have. Remote accesses disabled for example.
Brody Myers
These dubious links is what you probably need. If you
you can wait me_cleaner to get updated - its dev is already testing this feature.
Jacob Gutierrez
Libreboot - unlikely, since the ME OS (in ME11 it's real fucking MINIX, not some lousy threadX) is still proprietary. But coreboot would accept it, I think.
Justin Stewart
MINIX is Free Software.
Logan Turner
Go back to Plebbit or halfchan you fucking newfag.
Easton Flores
Nah, we still got (((U)))EFI that initializes shitton of components like usb hubs and m.2 drives, but still lesser botnet is better.
Jacob Myers
Botnet for disabling the botnet.
Sebastian Price
It's just a fucking picture you butthurt Ukrainian kike.

I didn't say shit about shortened links faggot. That's just you pulling shit out of your autistic ass.
Jose Lopez
This, you still have to use non-free software for the system to boot up thus it can be added in libreboot.
Minix is just a small part of the whole OS that is the ME.
It's more than that since the whole thing is an OS.
The "TemporaryDisable mode" is just one function that was randomly found.
I bet there's still a lot of undocumented functions in this proprietary clusterfuck.
Yes but you probably would have.
Most anons do that unfortunately.
Jack Hernandez
So...
This still means I should get a ryzen since intel should never get a cent from me, right?
Landon Murphy
No, get an AMD Bulldozer CPU or a pre-2010 if you want Intel.
Blake Anderson
Oh yeah, AMD has their own version of IME don't they.
Landon Allen
welcome to 8ch, we hate you even if you help
partly why here is so gay
Aiden Brooks
Intel's been compromised since the 9/11 days boyo
Ayden Jackson
I am Russian actually, so deal with it.
Any sane Russian won't like putin and there are plenty of reasons for this.
Caleb Hill
B-b-but Holla Forums told me that Putin is based like Trump!
Parker Sanchez
Like what?
Josiah Smith
Are you serious?
Try paying attention to the world, there's more to life than crying MAH JEWS and posting japanese cartoons on Holla Forums.
Brandon Perez
Not anymore.
Robert Butler
Damn, looks like kill.me is taken

Xavier Gray
Since you're Russian you probably realise there's no way in hell for your country to ever be a stable democracy, but I see why you wouldn't like him.
Colton Morris
Is there some list where I can see what processors are compatible? I have a Sandybridge (i7 2nd gen), and I'd like to fiddle with disabling ME. Maybe me_cleaner would work, but last I checked I couldn't flash the ME without hardware hacking.
John Bell
ftfy
Nathaniel Evans
There are like 9 pages in their wiki. You take the firmware image, run me_cleaner pointing to that image, then flash it in any convenient way, even with .exe
Cameron Hall
Yes. Go on, I'm waiting. Don't tell me you actually have no argument?
Owen Jackson
He's a revisionist. I understand why.
Fucking awesome. Now to do this on all mobos that I own.

Christopher Wilson
Nice find OP. To a botnet free world.
Brody Gutierrez
still waiting for this
