AMD Secure Technology PSP Firmware Now Explorable, Thanks to Researcher's Tool

[Melzzzzz]

"A security researcher this week released the PSPtool, a software tool
that “aims to lower the entry barrier for looking into the code running"
on the AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP), officially known as AMD
Secure Technology, and other AMD subsystems. The PSP serves similar
functions to those of Intel’s Management Engine (ME) processor. However,
just like the Intel ME, the secretive and undocumented nature of the
chip worries security and privacy advocates."

"Others also believe that the PSP could enable NSA backdoors. The
suspicion may not be completely without merit, as Intel’s similar
technology, the Management Engine was found to have an undocumented mode
that was specifically developed for the NSA. As these subsystems are
kept mostly undocumented and their operations secret from the user, we
may still not know the full extent of these chip’s operations. "
