[Dailydave] Intel vPro

I've been looking at the Intel vPro's Active Management Technology
and it looks pretty scary. This looks like a backdoor that's there
no matter what's going on. You can even connect to the system
when it's turned off :-) Their conceptual diagram shows that they
have a dedicated TCP/IP stack, TLS stack, and a web server
among other things... HP, Gateway, and Lenovo are already
selling machines with this in them... I'm curious to know if
anybody has already looked for vulnerabilities in them?
