/tech/ - Soyence and Technology

It would ruin their optics if they directly told the world they caught a criminal using a hardware backdoor, also the management engine is probably not powerful enough to log every single activity on the computer, but it is possible such backdoor has helped them subtly before

They have to be at least a little covert about what situations they use it in. They can't just rape every computer they can touch on internet without people noticing.

This nigger is right THOUGH, the feds will never oust when they use backdoors. They'll either retroactively follow a trail or fabricate one for whoever they catch with it. Or if that's not an option, literally let child trafficking pedophiles go free

I'm sure the way the FBI works is
>Narrow the suspects down to a few hundred loosely within the realm of the law
>Backdoor them
>Confirm the perpetrators using said backdoor
>Develop a trail or make one up using information you wouldn't otherwise have
>If you get caught during any stage of the process, pin it on some rival hacking group or Russia or something

Since when do they give a shit about optics? They've been exposed before, the biggest example is the Edward Snowden leaks and the goyim doesn't do shit about it whatsoever because they're retarded cattle

They think that there are no alternatives to any of the big websites and services, so they give up instantly. If you suggest anything, they'll either be confused, or mock you for using a service that doesn't spy on you.

i'm an end-game level schizo who doesn't think space is real and i think the roman empire was mostly falsified.

and not even I think Intel ME is a backdoor. I think it only becomes a backdoor if you have physical access and it doesn't do much

i think its reasonable to be concerned about proprietary firmware in your systems regardless of it's capablity of being used as a remote or physical backdoor

also, knowing how retarted feds can sometimes be, intel ME's [supposed] capablity of backdooring systems wouldve leaked out to the public and caused a massive shitstorm.

tsmt so much tsmt

Backdoor would probably only be used against serious threats to the state (so foreign agents and terrorists)
If the backdoor was easy to use then it would present a significant security problem to every piece of infrastructure in the US, as anyone with access to that backdoor would be able to "hack" anything at will.

intel ME and PSP are used for shit like Stuxnet. They don't use it for common criminals. It's used for state attacks and shit.

Read 'the gulag archipelago' and it'll start to make sense.
