It's not out of band and therefore vulnerable to massively clever malware, but it's still useful.

Discovery of new UEFI rootkit exposes an ugly truth: The attacks are invisible to us
As an aside, if you want to sorta see how vunlerable your UEFI is, you can run Chipsec to find out. It has a specific test for all the write-enable bits and stuff.

[GUIDE] Unlock the EC TDP limit of your low power U series Intel CPU
If you are like me and don't have the option, you need to modify the option through EFI shell. Download UEFI Tool, IFR extractor, RU.efi, and UEFI Shell, and your bios.bin/biosfd . On HP laptops, you can obtain it through the third option "Copy" . You can find the platform ID in the bios.

Ask HN: How to know if laptop enrolled in Intel Management Engine?
There's two different components here. The first is the Management Engine. Unless this laptop is extremely old, it has one, and it's running. Depending on age, you may be able to prevent it from booting while still allowing the rest of the system to run, but probably not. The second is Intel's Advanced Management Technology (AMT). This is only available on systems with VPro badging, which generally means higher-end business laptops. AMT is much less widely used than you might think, so it's probably not enrolled anywhere. You can confirm whether AMT has been provisioned with https://github.com/mjg59/mei-amt-check, and as long as you have the system firmware password you should be able to reset the ME regardless.
