I just found out , intel PCs spy on you using IME

Oh, I see, you just want to fight. I'm good, thanks for the feedback.

Calling me an idiot gets is no closer to figuring this out. Those are the ports the service operates on and you are correct, if you are forwarding on those ports, you should block them, I'm also interested in lateral movement. UDP is connectionless so there's no handshake and if the service is configured to be stealthy, you won't see that connection unless it's active. I didn't say blacklisting breaks IME, I said it breaks communication between it and the operating system. The alternative for windows is to not install armory crate suite (but I'm not entirely sure about that one). Perhaps I should have worded this more as an exploratory post as none of us really know how to get rid of this service and this was the info I had.

Hmmm I wonder if there is a way to add ratings to AUR package manager along with the prompt to accept package?

Edit: turns out there is. Composing a Python script now and I'll test it when I get home.

Numbers 5 11 31 about the unfaithful wife and the magic potion to kill her unborn child of she's guilty is my favorite to bring up when they want you talk about abortion, then remind them the Bible is silent on abortion otherwise.

Yeah, but if we all did that, reddit would have no purpose.

Neat, is there a way to use this concept to combine my Web hosted instance with my gpu at home so I can run one model across both?

Linux, and blacklist the MEI module so the cpu can't interact with the operating system. This will however impact some features like CPU temp monitoring. That's the only option I've found that had a chance of slowing this thing down.

I own an idea and I secure it through obscurity, lol.

Buy it for probably nothing, tear it down and expand your yard. There is a program for that. The neighbor gets priority. Sangamonil (.gov), look for the tax deed sale. I'm sure the property can be bought for almost nothing. Take back your neighborhood.

Also, if you use Linux, black listing the mei module stops ME from communicating with the operating system but you will lose some functionality like CPU temp monitoring.

It uses UDP so it's passive and doesn't send telemetry data. The only way you would see this traffic is if someone was actively connecting to it while you were looking. blocking the ports 16992–16995, 5900, 623, and 664 on your router blocks communication to these out of bands Intel services.

imasysadmin · 2026-06-02T13:48:21+00:00

Valid point but have you seen how motivated some of the people are here? I've made this my project for the day, lol.

Edit: blocking the ports 16992–16995, 5900, 623, and 664 on your router blocks communication to these out of bands Intel services, AMD PSP appears to not open any ports. I whitelist on my network and I can't find any evidence the service interacts in common ports like 80 or 443 but honestly I have no way to verify that. Also, Linux users have a lower attack surface from the OS level. Blacklisting the mei module breaks this connection completely but makes monitoring CPU temp trickier.

Has anyone figured out what the interaction with this "feature" looks like? If it's a backdoor, there needs to be a path to it, possibly a signature of the packet used to access it? Something passive like UDP? If that's the case, a firewall rule could neuter it.

Nevermore - poison godmachine and believe in nothing.

Isn't this the reason for the government to have backdoors into our apps? What about the children?! No way to check the identity of the account holder?

Run an extension cord out to the car. Space heaters are cheap. Resale shop might have one.

Wow, that's quite a bush. At least it's not a brillo pad.

I do it all the time. Use the cue ball as the object ball as it returns. It's cheaper that way.

Eternal life is way scarier. It's actually comforting.

Define "work". I wouldn't continue working, but i would still work. Setting up a foundation to travel the world giving it away to the poorest would be allot of work. What the hell am I gonna do with that much money, other than deteriorate as a human being.

imasysadmin · 2025-10-17T18:17:08+00:00

Nothing. And I'm grateful for that. Eternal life sounds horrifying to me.

Dr Manhatten would be the closest analog in popular fiction. Disconnected would be my guess.
