Anonymous hacker shares 20GB of data via magnet links in Telegram. Promises more to come.

This is what's supposed to be in the download.

• Intel ME Bringup guides + (flash) tooling + samples for various platforms
• Kabylake (Purley Platform) BIOS Reference Code and Sample Code + Initialization code (some of it as exported git repos with full history)
• Intel CEFDK (Consumer Electronics Firmware Development Kit (Bootloader stuff)) SOURCES
• Silicon / FSP source code packages for various platforms
• Various Intel Development and Debugging Tools
• Simics Simulation for Rocket Lake S and potentially other platforms
• Various roadmaps and other documents
• Binaries for Camera drivers Intel made for SpaceX
• Schematics, Docs, Tools + Firmware for the unreleased Tiger Lake platform
• (very horrible) Kabylake FDK training videos
• Intel Trace Hub + decoder files for various Intel ME versions
• Elkhart Lake Silicon Reference and Platform Sample Code
• Some Verilog stuff for various Xeon Platforms, unsure what it is exactly.
• Debug BIOS/TXE builds for various Platforms
• Bootguard SDK (encrypted zip)
• Intel Snowridge / Snowfish Process Simulator ADK
• Various schematics
• Intel Marketing Material Templates (InDesign)
• Lots of other things

Honestly, there's a lot to shit pants over.

Someone was telling me earlier today that part of the reason Hollywood never pisses off the Chinese is that they will do this, take your movie and release it. Looks like the same sort of thing is happening here, right after bad news about the 7nm processor.

enjoyed having a superconductor industry in the US.

Getting the torrent now. I notice it's called "Intel exconfidential Lake drop 1", 1 implying there will be another.

Now this is what I call a leak. At this point I see no reason why anyone should purchase a new Intel CPU these days.

Would be nice if we got something that helps with removing the ME for their processors.

On Skylake systems, it can be disabled using the NSA requested "HA" bit.

So Telegram isn't just for disgusting furries?

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Can Intel not shit the bed for five goddamn minutes!?

 

[RejectedLynx]

Why am I not surprised it's Intel??? Can't wait to see the multitude of leaks. I expect at least two or three considering the article mentions passwords being "Intel123" and shit. My corpse of a aunt could guess that.

 

[Ask Jeeves]

It will be interesting to see how much of their new motherboard each cycle requirement was bullshit. That and some spicy information about the management engine backdoor.

Do you know if there's any way to do this that doesn't involve rigmarole with hardware flash programmers?

I think you can in theory do a software flash, but if you mess up, you would have to use a hardware flasher anyway.

...intel apparently

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

Well, looks like I need to clear up 20 gigs of hdd space all the sudden.

Got the files, randomly flipping through them now. From the "Windows_1.0.5.exe" ZIP file, there's the Intel Memory and Storage Tool. In the "NDA" documentation it describes what kind of telemetry Intel SSDs collect behind the scenes. Here's an example.

Nothing too dangerous in there, but be informed nonetheless.
It doesn't sound like there's anything in a stock system that will "phone home", since Intel mentions needing integration from OS vendors.

Telemetry: Enhancing Customer Triage of Intel® SSDs - IT Peer Network

By developing end-to-end tool chain to retrieve logs in customer environments, Intel can effectively and completely debug drive sightings

EDIT: I found a mention of a "backdoor" in server_bp1221-00_cp331_bricklandbdx-4.00.git.zip under BricklandPkg\Ras\Smm\RasInit\MemoryRas.c

    // Save the RAS backdoor request pointer to IOH SR 17
    // It will be used for memory RAS request
    //
    Data32 = (UINT32)(UINTN)mAcpiParameter->SmiRequestParam;

But this seems to be code about hot-swapping hardware, it doesn't look like a backdoor in the sense the term is usually used.
See BricklandPkg\Include\Protocol\GlobalNvsArea.h for the definition of these fields
And BricklandPkg\Ras\Smm\MigrationHandler\MigrationHandler.c for them being used.

I don't know what most of this stuff is, but I did notice two driver archives for SpaceX for a camera.

And inside I noticed these:

Landmark detection is interesting.

That's very interesting, seems like they were fucking around with shit for Elon or whatever, now I'm curious if they were ever used.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Landmark detection is interesting.

"Landmarks" here refers to key points on a face when doing face detection, rather than features of a landscape. All of those DLLs you listed are related to face detection, as the function names make explicit.
