@rharrisai @missmayn Most Americans don’t even have 1k in case of an emergency, you’re reaffirming the OP’s point

You're an admin on your machine, but you're still a guest in its house.

A lot of people still think Ring 0 (the Kernel) is the absolute ceiling of authority. If you have root, you have God mode, right? For cracked people(not one though), they know the real power lives in Ring -3.

There is a separate, invisible processor inside your Intel CPU running its own closed-source operating system usually a version of MINIX. This is the Intel Management Engine (ME).

It doesn’t matter if your PC is off, your drive is encrypted with AES-256, or you’re running the most hardened Linux distro. If the power cable is plugged in, the ME is awake.

Why this is the ultimate Deep Tech secret:
The Ghost in the Silicon: It has its own independent network stack. It can bypass your OS-level firewall to send and receive data. It can see your RAM, your screen, and every single keystroke you type before your OS even knows they happened.

The Kill Switch Irony: The only reason we know how to soft-disable this is because the NSA requested a way to turn it off for their own high-security machines. It’s called the HAP (High Assurance Platform) bit. Even the guys who do the spying didn't trust a black-box OS living inside their silicon.

Modern Vulnerabilities: This isn't old news. Research from 2025 (like CVE-2025-20037) shows that we're still finding TOCTOU (Time-of-check-to-time-of-use) race conditions in the CSME firmware. These aren't just bugs; they're architectural blind spots.

If you try to just delete the ME firmware, yep, your computer will literally commit suicide (shut down) every 30 minutes. That’s a hardcoded failsafe. To truly neuter it, you have to use tools like me_cleaner to strip the modules while leaving just enough code (like the BUP/ROMP modules) to keep the CPU from panicking.

We spend our lives as architects designing secure systems, but we’re building on top of a foundation we aren't allowed to audit. Digital sovereignty is a nice idea, but until you control the hardware below the BIOS, you're just renting your privacy.

would make a follow-up post on how to actually use me_cleaner without bricking your board

1/ An investigation into how Greavys (Malone Iam), Wiz (Veer Chetal), and Box (Jeandiel Serrano) stole $243M from a single person last month in a highly sophisticated social engineering attack and my efforts which have helped lead to multiple arrests and millions frozen.

Watch hackers break into the US power grid

A power company in the Midwest hired a group of white hat hackers known as RedTeam Security to test its defenses... and it was all much easier than you might think.

@CaswellCharles Despite the Ryobi I’ll order one because I respect kiwi music 🥝 🎸

[CxO @CxO______]

@vxunderground Nope. Can’t reuse because it had Hardcoded target profiles, would require insider access to plant the USB’s, and vulnerabilities were patched long ago. Guy needs a nap

@brian_armstrong 1. Don’t store any of this private information at all, storing KYC info partly defeats the purpose of crypto

2. don’t outsource customer service to overseas countries

3. If you want anyone to get serious about hunting them there needs to be more than a verbal agreement

@interesting_aIl so when you fail the lift and the bar is right above your neck there’ll be no way to just turn and dump the weight, great idea 💡

@NetworkChuck echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/s --limit-burst 2 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP

@thedankoe 240mg Ginko, 100mg CoQ10, and 2.5g or more of lions mane daily for prevention

If the headache still comes on in the first 3 weeks of the regimen take 3-6g of micronized L-Citrulline. Life changing

FYI, the best security researchers weren't made in corporate training rooms. They were forged by curiosity, open resources, and community-driven knowledge. If you're here for that energy then come on down!

[AwakenedOutlaw⚒️ @AwakenedOutlaw]

Holy shit is this bad.

For starters, the Generals and Admirals he's talking about - their careers are over. Secondly, he and EVERYONE he's talked to, especially everyone at that meeting he mentioned occurring in a SCIF at the Pentagon, all will be named and face an inquiry. They can't NOT be.

No one elected Pentagon appointees and military officers to conspire against the President of the United States - and most certainly not while on duty at the MTFKN Pentagon.

This is treason.

Treating IT as a cost center is like viewing your immune system as an expense.
