* Package name : intel-me-cleaner Version : 1.0+git20171022.g2ff65c1 Upstream Author : Nicola Corna <nic...@corna.info> * URL : https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner * License : GPL-3.0+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Tool for partial deblobbing of Intel ME/TXE firmware images The Intel® Management Engine (ME) is a microcontroller embedded in most Intel chipsets manufactured since 2006 that runs independently from the main CPU. It is not removable from the system and it runs a signed proprietary firmware, with full network and memory access, which poses a serious security threat. Even when disabled from the BIOS settings, Intel ME is active: the only way to be sure it is disabled is to remove its firmware from the flash chip. This package allows removing parts of the signed proprietary firmware effectively disabling the Management Engine. -- Generated with the help of dpt-gen-itp(1) from pkg-perl-tools.
