The short version is that every Intel platform with AMT, ISM, and SBT from Nehalem in 2008 to Kaby Lake in 2017 has a remotely exploitable security hole in the ME (Management Engine) not CPU firmware. |

"First a little bit of background. SemiAccurate has known about this vulnerability for literally years now, it came up in research we were doing on hardware backdoors over five years ago.

Framedragger |
mircea_popescu: i'll mention one thing tho: you cited "$10k+ / year" figures and all that, but just ftr i don't believe the actual *profit margin* (vs. revenue) would be decent. that said, this should of course be researched. |
| 12:40 |
mircea_popescu |
of course you don't. why don't you ? |
| 12:40 |
mircea_popescu |
is it from the experience of being a businessman, or is it from the experience of being a cocksucker, begging this and that, like the schmuck i just negrated ? |

mircea_popescu |
cuz this might matter, at least somewhat. |
| 12:41 |

| 12:42 |

incidentally, if it turns out that mircea_popescu had in fact buried 10,001 opterons somewhere in the desert, now'd be the time to dig'em up. and profit margin will be very respectable. |

gotta wonder what the 'market depth' is. |
| 12:50 |
Framedragger |
btw, if anyone is considering doing the isp thing, one of the potential providers which offers colo is https://pinspb.ru/ (doesn't look serious i know, but after some research it turns out to have close ties to 2x4.ru, and that's not a bad sign.) |
| 12:50 |
Framedragger |
^ can purchase ip blocks via 'em, too, for good price; etc. |
| 12:52 |
asciilifeform |
https://pinspb.ru/79 << seems like they only take ru-only spampaypals tho |
| 12:52 |
asciilifeform |
or hm, nm, they also eat 'visa' etc |
| 12:52 |

but not - it seems - btc. |

Framedragger recalls using some 'virtual gold' 'incorporated in panama' company currency to trade goods. sustainable? no. can make it werk for specific trades? can do! |
| 12:54 |
asciilifeform |
isp is typically a recurring thing tho, vs 'specific trade' |
| 12:55 |
mircea_popescu |
~any isp will open you a wire channel if you're paying them substantially. pay them quarterly, it'll be substantial enough. |
| 12:55 |
asciilifeform |
the linked isp even offers year-long parcel |
| 12:55 |
asciilifeform |
and definitely eats wires |
| 12:56 |
mircea_popescu |
so then. you want to use the wire system whenever you can anyway. |
| 12:56 |
Framedragger |
yepyep. i must say that i had not dealt with them directly, ever. but it came up in my 'ok so what actual non-nato providers/DCs could i use?' |
| 12:56 |
asciilifeform |
Framedragger: 2x4 came up in my list also |
| 12:57 |
mircea_popescu |
russia is not without its own problems but having a dc there is certainly a sound plan. |
| 12:57 |
Framedragger |
asciilifeform: yeah, but they don't offer colo, at least upon initial glance. can send query, of course. but may as well deal with their upstream DCs |
| 12:57 |
asciilifeform |
iirc mircea_popescu recently discovered that you gotta buy a colo if you want to emplace something as small as even a FUCKGOATS |
| 12:57 |
Framedragger |
(iirc pinspb hosts, or is related to 2x4 dns boxes. would need to dig up) |
| 12:58 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: i wonder how the ssl idiots handle this ( they have, or at least at one time had, hardware accelerators for their nonsense . did they also have to pay for entire machine colo, to plug in the 1 board ?? ) |
| 12:58 |
Framedragger |
some providers may agree to attach usb devices. iirc (possibly) leaseweb. (based in .nl, i know, but they also fought some 'give us yer customers' cases iirc) |
| 12:59 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform i said cherryservers (ex balticservers) didn't want to. |
| 12:59 |
asciilifeform |
Framedragger: my (possibly naive) picture is that it does very little good to put a FG ~outside~ of box, where any idiot could unplug or substitute it; it only begins to make sense inside a welded colo box |
| 12:59 |
asciilifeform |
( or , ideally, box in your castle ) |
| 12:59 |
Framedragger |
cherryservers do seem nice but their nato affiliation is over 9000 hah |
| 13:00 |
Framedragger |
asciilifeform: ah shit, of course |
| 13:03 |
mircea_popescu |
i don't get what the problem with colocating boxes is supposed to be. pro tip : every box in every rack in every datacenter on planet earth WAS COLOCATED THERE. |
| 13:03 |
mircea_popescu |
this is like a discussion of dairy attempting to avoid cows. |
| 13:04 |
mircea_popescu |
"oh but they moo" "so what the fuck if they do." "it's scary!" "dude..." |
| 13:04 |
Framedragger |
mircea_popescu: what do you mean, do you mean resistance against colocating? |
| 13:04 |
mircea_popescu |
i mean of course you'll colocate boxes, this is what you do. isp places his boxes in a datacenter, it's the job description. |
| 13:04 |
asciilifeform |
iirc mircea_popescu earlier asked some dc for 'i'll lease your box but plug in this 1 thing' |
| 13:05 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform wasn't some dc, was named and renamed above! |
| 13:05 |
asciilifeform |
this is a sort of chimera of 'colo' and conventional |
| 13:05 |
Framedragger |
ah. rightright. |
| 13:05 |
mircea_popescu |
it was an isp. one that on the price front is pretty cool but on the service front sucks. |
| 13:05 |
Framedragger |
maybe a matter of renting rack unit vs rack vs cage |
| 13:05 |
mircea_popescu |
why the fuck would i want to deal with them anyway. |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: it could even be the case that the 'no, we won't plug your box in' are not in fact selling physical boxes. but instead are fraudulently peddling vmtron |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
or whatever unmanned thing. |
| 13:06 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform they';re the people hosting phuctor. |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
could be the case that dulap is 'grandfathered' physical box, but new ones are vm. |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
or who knows. |
| 13:07 |
Framedragger |
could it be legitimate concern of space in their cramped cages that they are worrying about? (i know, naive interpretation) |
| 13:07 |
mircea_popescu |
which, to resolve ~that~ problem, alone eats plenty of yearly thousands of dollars. it alone, the loss leader of one of the projects etc. |

(at least in intel ME, from slides i infer that if it doesn't detect the "ME firmware part in BIOS flash", it doesn't even turn on?) |
