I remember when TPM modules and BitLocker became standard, starting with laptops. I always suspected Microslop of adding a yet-to-be-discovered back door in their closed source shitshow.
Must be what a pepper prepper feels like when the first nuke drops.
Hmm, do you know what happens if you block those ports on your router so they can’t escape the network or get requests sent to them?
Surely the traffic is blocked? The firewall in your router can’t know if they came from your CPU OE something else
Outgoing traffic would be a random port. Incoming would be blocked by default on all routers. Chances are, if the intel lights out management stuff was phoning home, it would do it on port 443 like the majority of data these days. The ports mentioned above are for unsolicited incoming packets, and that would be blocked at the route level for anything outside your local network.
