AMT is Intel’s remote maintenance feature used on Intel vPro-enabled and Xeon processors. MEBx is a BIOS extension used to manually configuring the AMT service.

Intel AMT is shipped in various states (enabled or disabled by default) depending on the laptop/desktop OEM's policy. Instructions on how to disable the feature vary from OEM to OEM.

Intel warned Monday of a firmware vulnerability in certain systems that utilize its Active Management Technology (AMT) that could allow an adversary to elevate privileges on a vulnerable system.

In a matter of seconds, an attacker can gain access to an Intel AMT-enabled laptop, even if there's a BIOS password in place. Bitlocker passwords, TPM Pins, and login credentials are no help, either.

The new flaw targets laptops, especially those powered by Intel's enterprise-focused vPro processors, and exploits the remote access monitoring and maintenance tools provided by AMT to gain total ...

Intel has announced its Active Management Technology (AMT), Standard Manageability (ISM), and Small Business Technology (SBT) firmware has been vulnerable to a pair of privilege escalation issues ...

Intel designed AMT to demand a password before allowing remote access via web browser. Unfortunately, the flaw allows attackers to bypass the AMT system’s usual authentication requirement.

AMT is included in Intel's network chipset to support remote management capabilities. One of its features, AMT-SOL, creates a virtual serial port that can be used to send and receive data from an ...

IDG Many business PCs are exposed to the Intel AMT exploit, as well as some PCs built using business-class components. This new Dell XPS 15 consumer laptop, on the other hand, seems right as rain.
