Dell T7500 and the hunt for the Intel ME Spy-Engine. // ME-Code not found in BIOS update. So where it is?

[ludwig...@gmail.com]

Hi all

If you want to play with the bios images, you can download them at 

dell dot com

with your service tag number of the box.

-

So to get the real romfile, the file that is written to the flash,

in order to do some research with it, call

wine T7500A18.exe /writeromfile

which will write  T7500A18.rom.

and wants you to click a message with OK-button.

So looking for intel-me code:
you might want to use:
https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner

If you call

python me_cleaner.py T7500A18.rom

it says:

Unknown image

---
So there might still be me code me_cleaner does not know, or the bios
is ME_free.

--

Or is the bios update just a delta-update, and the ME-firmware is still there, not

beeing modified.

--

I tried with A13 to A18 and me_cleaner did not find me_code, as it

reported "Unknown image".

---

Any thoughts where the ME-firmware could be hidden, or to make sure,

that the T7500 is really ME-free, as it seems to be?
