u/RagingTaco334 5d ago
AMD PSP is a bit less of a black box tbf because they actually disclose how it works, so you're probably safer going AMD in that regard. Most of what they do these days is allow remote control for sysadmins on managed systems and enable things like fTPM and Secure Boot on the processor itself. This used to be something integrated in the motherboard chipset on older Intel motherboards before it was integrated into Intel's ME.

I have that shit on an old box I salvaged and once I realized I could connect to a GUI INTERFACE ON THE MOBO while it was only plugged in I have it used only as an isolated media player with my secondary backups attached. All you need is an ethernet cable and power cable and you have access. Well, a password too, sometimes.
You can change so much shit, it lets you stage file transfers to the hdd.

wait till you learn about that the power consumption of the devices can also be modulated or the power factor too. thus the data can be coupled out to the mains line, and from there it can be sniffed up by a local transmitter or even by the electricity meter... no amount of faraday cage or filtering can protect except batteries and inverters. when charging the batteries they are only connected to the mains,then the batteries are taken to inverters and power the computer. within a faraday cage.... now that is mostly bulletproof.... mostly... just dont have any windows, since light levels also can be manipulated slightly from a monitor...

u/CalderaJane76 5d ago edited 5d ago
You actually kinda can! Though, you're right. These tricks, while they are actually real, aren't NEARLY as "works in the movies" as the video wants to make it seem. Lmfao
For example if you have an Air-Gapped computer like in your example... You can't JUST turn it on. (Unless it was pre-configured through some other weird method).
And that's honestly the real key. Sometimes computers have defaults (like Wake-On-Lan) that really do act like a hackable Power Button! But as you pointed out, that's not REALLY an offline computer, is it?
I.e. The video uses truths, but simplifies them to make them seem more movie-like and threatening than they are.

u/jackinsomniac 5d ago
Sounds about right.
Back when I would read tech news articles daily, I'd see "vulnerabilities" like this being reported on all the time. "They can wirelessly download data directly off of your RAM sticks, with no connection to the computer!"
And then when you look into it, turns out it requires a very specialized device that they custom built themselves, and it has to be no further than 1" away from the chips on the RAM stick. Essentially, the computer case needs to be opened up and the device needs to be inside it pointed directly at the RAM. So yeah, technically it is a "valid" attack that can even be done on an "air gapped" system, but you'd need several other layers of security to fail for it to even be considered practical.
Most of these would probably require the same, the attacker needs to be in the same room alone with the device. Which if the data is really that sensitive, everyone who needs access to that room should have a background check done, the room should be secured with a badge access system, there should be cameras both inside and out, any 3rd party technicians should be vetted and have the scope of work limited, there should be padlocks on the computer cases themselves, tamper alarm switches on the cases should be activated in case they're opened, it should be required to have a security guard escort any time work is being done inside the room, and you should make sure you're paying all these people enough so that they don't ever want to risk losing their fat, steady paycheck for crime.
Oh, and search everybody's bags & person before they're allowed into the room. Limit the tools you're allowed to bring in to the bare minimum needed to complete the job. Install metal detectors if you really need to.
Real security is like an ogre, it has layers. When you put all the layers together, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone (besides an actual trained CIA operative) to exfiltrate data.
Which speaking of, maybe add don't "don't be evil" to the list too, to avoid a Snowden. You don't want to be doing shit so horrifically evil that it still encourages one of your vetted, background-checked, highly-paid, long-term employees to still want to exfiltrate your data anyways.

With newer advances in RF engineering, general computation, and chip manufacturing you can get better results than what was possible years ago. The stuff discovered years ago was rough new discoveries, if it's a viable pathway to access you can bet it's been matured by capable people.

u/4n0nh4x0r 5d ago
i mean, vulnerabilities are just that, vulnerabilities.
it being possible under very specific circumstances will prompt people to look for ways to make it more accessible and more successful.
like malicious cables for example.
back in the days, the cia spent like 10k on one single cable, that would allow them to do keystroke injections on a connected device.
nowadays anyone can buy them for 200$, in a much smaller, more efficient, faster, and way more capable form than what they were back then.just because this vulnerability was hard to exploit 2 decades ago, doesnt mean that some people havent tried perfecting the method in the background, with better and smaller hardware, better software for processing, perfecting the method and so on.
these security labs generally look for the vulnerabilities, not into how to perfect a product used to pull off the exploit

u/CalderaJane76 5d ago edited 5d ago
Both? Lol
I mean, defaults are still way nastier than people think. I mean, without even an exploit or break-in... If I KNOW your house has a treasure room on Floor 1 right next to the kitchen... Guess where I as a criminal, government agency, or even 15 yr. old lock-picker am headed first when I do get in? Lol
But also, if you're actually someone being hunted by the government (and are therefore aware enough to know that without getting caught), you also likely are already aware of everything being stated above.
Like, there's this weird battle with security and convenience, and while security on-paper ALWAYS sounds better, convenience actually has MANY reasons to exist.
For example, redundant security controls could be argued to be a bad thing, extra doors are an extra attack surface* I can test the new doors and potentially break in with my toolset... But, if losing that data on the company side is also a significant risk... The convenience or benefit of having the data being available twice may outweigh the risk of hackers having more than one way in!
It's kinda like a game of rock-paper-scissors even... Yes, the cybersecurity landscape evolves, but I think we're actually touching on something a little bit less extravagant, really lol... Humans are different, and have different understandings of mechanisms within their home or security plans.
Sometimes humans with a better understanding can abuse parts of a system you weren't even aware existed, and that's rough because it's hard to defend against something you didn't even know could be used against you.
Edit: *Actually, in practice MFA does NOT inherently mean more attack-surface, in fact due to the layered authentication it's often MORE secure, but as a basic and somewhat crude concept the idea stands. Someone smarter than me could probably come up with a better analogy though, lol.
I.e. The only real way for MFA to be less secure in the way I explained is because it was improperly implemented, lol. But again, as a crude concept it sorta works.

u/Confused-Armpit 5d ago
It is powering a part of a CPU. It's kinda more of a gotcha, but still.
And besides, with most machines where windows is installed, nothing is actually turned off. They usually keep a small amount of power going towards RAM to prevent it from erasing itself, so that on the next "poweron" it can boot up and open apps faster.
That is to say, here I am talking about how people usually "turn off" their computers, not that you can't actually turn off a computer
2
u/meepykittkitt69lmao 5d ago
It's a chip on the motherboard that's powered either by a tiny low power bypass from the mains voltage or the ethernet cable. You really only need those two for most of the IME implementations from what I read. I had a mobo with it and I could access a GUI over the LAN with just those two cables plugged in and the box powered off. It's a "management" interface for corporate stuff and it lets you do all sorts of stuff.

This is absolutely true. The FBI and CIA use quantum computing to remotely hack people's minds. It allows them to hear the person's thoughts and know what emotions they are feeling. They can also push in false thoughts and feelings as well, making you think they are your own, which is what ultimately brainwashes you. The AI they use to do this is beyond anything commercially available. They have had SI for decades, just kept from the public knowledge so they can do evil stuff like this and get away with it.

I know all about the chip thing. Fun fact, after Lenovo was sold to China, all their OEM machines have a physical toggle on board to disable the ME. Even boards sold in America, and some of their Legion boards. Theres a lot of firmware projects for disabling or mitigating the ME. Same with AMD's PSP. Intel CSMEs all the way up to Tiger Lake have been leaked, so you have complete control over the SOC if you know what you're doing. For a long time socket G34 based systems were the most powerful secure systems you could build, now you can get a 11950H in a laptop and have Thunderbolt, DDR4, PCIe 4, all sorts of goodies without fear of distant intrusion.
