 |  Beware Intel’s secret CPU inside New Intel x86 processors have a secret control mechanism that runs on a separate chip that no one is allowed to audit or examine and according a security expert it exposes all affected systems to nearly unkillable, undetectable rootkit attacks. Damien Zammit wrote in boing boing that he had made it his mission to open up this system and make free, open replacements, before it's too late. What has him cross is the Intel Management Engine (ME) which is subsystem which uses a 32-bit ARC microprocessor that's physically located inside the chipset. Its job is to provide a firmware blob to run a management system for big enterprise deployments. http://fudzilla.com/news/processors/...ret-cpu-inside |
