Looks like it does roughly the same thing as this [1]. I guess it's a tossup between a proprietary program from Intel or a free program on github from the person who found the bug.

- dfc 9y agoFor what it is worth I think Maksim Malyutin from Embedi was the person that found the bug. MJG is the author of the check.
