The ME blobs dumped in this directory come from the following link: https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER04573471M/1/Inspiron_5468_1.3.0.exe
This provides ME version 11.6.0.1126. In this version CVE-2017-5705 has not yet been fixed.
See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00086.html
Therefore, Bootguard can be disabled by deguard with a patched ME.

1.0.1: Extract blobs from original rom:
extract.sh: takes backup, unlocks ifd, apply me_cleaner to neuter, relocate, trim and deguard it, modify BIOS and ME region of IFD and place output files into this dir.
sha256sum: will vary depending of IFD and ME extracted where IFD regions of BIOS and ME should be consistent.

ifd.bin was extracted from a T480 from an external flashrom backup.

# T480 Blobs
The following blobs are needed:
* `ifd.bin`
* `gbe.bin`
* `me.bin`
## me.bin: automatically extract, neuter and deguard
download_clean_me.sh : Download vulnerable ME from Dell, verify checksum, extract ME, neuter ME and trim it, then apply the deguard patch and place it into me.bin

## ifd.bin and gbe.bin
Both blobs were taken from libreboot: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/src/commit/68ebde2f033ce662813dbf8f5ab21f160014029f/config/ifd/t480

# CAVEATS for the board:
See the board configs `boards/t480-[hotp-]maximized/t480-[hotp-]maximized.config`:
> This board is vulnerable to a TPM reset attack, i.e. the PCRs are reset while the system is running.
> This attack can be used to bypass measured boot when an attacker succeeds at modifying the SPI flash.
> Also it can be used to extract FDE keys from a TPM.
> The related coreboot issue contains more information: https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/576
> Make sure you understand the implications of the attack for your threat model before using this board.
