@samebchase @Sqaaakoi @i_lost_my_bagel ME is inspecting your traffic before it's handed to the OS, and if it sees TCP ports that it uses, it processes that. You can give ME a different IP address from what the OS uses, but by default it just shares the IP.

@jernej__s @samebchase @Sqaaakoi @i_lost_my_bagel But localhost traffic never hits the bus; it’s entirely in memory via the loopback device. Is the idea here that IME is hijacking the loopback driver functions somehow? Or is that port actually exposed on localhost by some Windows vPro driver?

@overhacked @jernej__s @samebchase @Sqaaakoi there's a windows driver that exposes it on localhost. Without a driver you can't access it on the local machine. Booted up macOS on the laptop since I know it has absolutely no AMT drivers and I couldn't access it.

I can still access it from other computers though so it's still running.

@overhacked @jernej__s @samebchase @Sqaaakoi surprisingly macOS CAN see the virtual serial connection which I definitely wasn't expecting
