Does this really happen, or would it ever? Seems like a contrived scenario for employees to have enough access and knowledge to detect and defeat a userspace or kernel-resident solution that doesn’t want to be found. Plus, if you’re going that far, you’d want to make sure it wasn’t easily detectable by analyzing network traffic.
I’m sure such a thing is out there, but I doubt it’s being used by employers to spy on workers. More like governments spying on workers with access to sensitive IP.
- nitrogen 6y agoYes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Tech... Plus the laptop "anti-theft" BIOSes that phone home whose name I cannot recall.

- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoThat'd be it. My Thinkpads let me permanently disable it.
- MintelIE 6y agoThat's what the BIOS claims anyway...
- Spooky23 6y agoNope. It’s all over. Absolute Computrace starts at $29 and is resident in most every OEM BIOS manufactured in the last 20-25 years.
