Any-way, what's the point of bothering running any sort of 'secure' software on wholly compromised hardware...?
There isn't. But blatant risk taking is apparently fun for humans to engage in ;)
I naively admit I wasn't aware of the fact that americunts (intel/amd) had sunk that low, but then again that's rather stupid on my part.
Don't worry, many people don't know Intel's NIC's are involved in it too, all documented on Intel's site. Which means like any good manufacturer, they left themselves (and whoever their buddies or daddies are) nice little magic packet backdoors to the otherwise "secure" AMT, before even getting packet to the CPU gates and userland.
Question remains, addressed to people interested in 'security' :
Nobody seems to be trying to fix 'our' fundamental problem...?
I certainly not first to suggest starting open version of cpu and fab, but people cry 'impossible', and 'cost v benefit', 'time', bawl waah. Musk said fuck all that anti BS and is going to Mars.
All the talk about snowden, tor, 'hacking' and similar propaganda is...well...propaganda.
There are facts in there. But what is the fundamental problem? Surveillance? Secrets? Structures? The human genome?
