As such, the ME has garnered a reputation for being a backdoor and a potentially powerful rootkit mechanism, earning a Ring -3 vulnerability for itself. Therefore, any attacker employing a rootkit exploit on the ME firmware can potentially take control of the remote computer and wreak havoc without being detected. As mentioned earlier, the activities of the ME are not audited as it is invisible to the OS. Despite that, experts have found ways of exploiting the ME firmware and take partial control of the ME and thereby, the computer. The ME firmware is encrypted with an RSA 2048 algorithm.
