Gregory's Serverfun fact: if you have a laptop or desktop that has an intel cpu with "vPro" on the sticker there's a chance the management engine in your CPU is just hosting a web server at all times.
It's at port 16992

@i_lost_my_bagel also, you can say TREBUCHET TERFS as much as you want! :D and for that matter, GUILLOTINE BILLIONARES! |
@i_lost_my_bagel You could note that this is totally opt-in in OEM BIOS configurations. Plus it requires support in the chipset + BIOS.
The Dell machines I used it on needed to have it flipped in the boot screen first. You can get them preconfigured too, though.
It's a PERFECT solution for a home server. It's a free BMC! 😍 One just needs to know about this and configure it properly. I don't think there's any consumer grade CPUs or consumer grade motherboard that have vPro.
AMT is disabled but it keeps listening to the ports on the built-in NIC forever (intercepts them so the OS never sees traffic), so I assume it is still compromised and I simply cannot use the built-in NIC in those workstations.
@i_lost_my_bagel This may be a fun time to also bring up Microsoft #Pluton, which may or may not be a part of this same shady infrastructure; the latest and greatest processors have it in addition to the IME/PSP.
(It has a valid overt use case in securing a user's preferred cryptographic keys, but it can just as easily be used to eg. lock stuff out of the user's control.)
