The idea of gaining control of the management hardware like this is really exciting. Can anyone here comment on whether it could plausibly happen? I’m guessing it would require leaks from Intel because otherwise whoever develops the capability would presumably keep it close to the vest or sell it for major $ right?
I just mean, rather than leaving your computer with a powerful remote administration system un-configured & ready to go with a default password, provision it yourself, set the passwords, maybe even use it.
