see how much information wikipedia-NSA has on amd-NSA? One could make some searches using google-NSA for "platform security processor" but I'm not bothering.
If anyone thinks that any commercially available CPU is trustworthy, they are wrong, there is ZERO trust. Wake On LAN (WoL) should have scared the shit out of you over 20 years ago... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN #OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenAudits Until you can walk in anon off the street and satisfy yourself as to what's in the CPU's you're buying off the line, you have ZERO reason to trust. Even your own favorite Government told you that over 35 years ago... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computer_System_Evaluation_Criteria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Criteria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_computing_base http://ts.data61.csiro.au/projects/seL4/ But you didn't listen, to that then, to this video over 12 years ago, or even to Snowden, or all the CPU exploits recently... http://archivecaslytosk.onion/Yeymq https://www.afr.com/p/technology/intel_chips_could_be_nsa_key_to_ymrhS1HS163... TG Daily: Secret military history of Silicon Valley gave rise to modern tech giants http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/35695/113/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Blank Steve Blank - The Secret History of Silicon Valley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFSPHfZQpIQ Straight from the TOP SECRET NDA NSA man Steve Blank from Pine Gap (who, curiously, felt compelled to disclaim the talk as opensource to keep his Govt paycheck)... Spook Valley - How Stanford & the CIA/NSA Built the Valley We Know Today, by Steve Blank. How much does an average Googler know about the history of the place he/she works in - Silicon Valley? Come and test your knowledge. I have seen this talk and I assure you - even seasoned Silicon Valley veterans will find this story interesting. Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Blank will talk about how World War II set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of Silicon Valley, and the role of Frederick Terman and Stanford in working with government agencies (including the CIA and the National Security Agency) to set up companies in this area that sparked the creation of hundreds of other enterprises. Steve Blank spent nearly 30 years as founder and executive of high tech companies in Silicon Valley, most recently the enterprise software firm E.piphany. He has been involved in or co-founded eight Silicon Valley startups, ranging from semiconductors to video games, and personal computers to supercomputers. He teaches entrepreneurship at U.C. Berkeley's Haas School of Business, Columbia University and Stanford's Graduate School of Engineering. Either start listening and start building and buying trust, or admit you're fucked (and been fucking owned), and give Juan a big hammer.
