Hundreds. follow the links in thread or just read ARS. The story is all over the press.
I read the link in the first post (there were no other links posted when I asked, I still have other posts to read). I don't know what ARS is.
I see it is something Intel, but what?
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology
"AMT is designed into a secondary (service) processor located on the motherboard" Intel mother boards? The CPU? The
network card? What can act on its own without the firewall intervention and respond to network packets on those ports, without the operating system intervention? It must be something with CPU independent from the main CPU..., or the OS would see it.
I don't understand.
Yes you do. If an enterprise puts a server in a datacenter and they need remote console access they need a way to do it. Lots of hardware solutions for that. This is one of them.
