[olug] Intel vPro version analyzer that runs on Linux? SCSDiscovery.py?

[Rob Townley]

As i mentioned in tonights meeting, corporate grade intel PCs have a
problem. Much of my work using vPro stopped around 2013, so i am rusty
​ and forget its Linux capable utilities if any.​
​
​

One way to find systems that need to be patched is the "Intel® SCS – System
Discovery Utility
<https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26691/Intel-SCS-System-Discovery-Utility>
"
​.​
​
​SCSDiscovery.exe
 runs on each
​_​
​WINDOWS
​_​
Desktop, not remotely from a central server ( the opp
​o​
site of what vPro is meant for
​!​
).  What if you have Linux Desktops?
​ ​
If someone finds a reliable way to analyze Linux systems, please post back
to the list.  i suspect dmesg or dmidecode or lspci or something might
provide this information
​, but i have never found vPro to be reliable​
.
​  ​
​
​tl;dr  Intel has not really thought this thru.  A Linux system running on
vPro capable hardware is just as vulnerable because this is essentially a
remote "hardware" vulnerability.  ​
