Till Kottmann, a Swiss IT consultant, posted on Twitter a link to a file sharing service today that contains what an anonymous source claims is a portion of Intel’s crown jewels: A 20GB folder of confidential Intel intellectual property. The leaker dubbed the release the “Intel exconfidential Lake Platform Release ;).”
更新：英特尔已经回应了Tom’s Hardwarewith an official statement:
“We are investigating this situation. The information appears to come from the Intel Resource and Design Center, which hosts information for use by our customers, partners and other external parties who have registered for access. We believe an individual with access downloaded and shared this data.”
英特尔的资源和设计中心是一个致力于为公司合作伙伴提供产品集成目的的网站。Reports are also cropping up that some of the files are marked with NDA license agreements to “Centerm Information Co. Ltd., a Chinese company established and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China,” meaning this company could have been also hacked.
The folder appears to have been originally posted by an anonymous source that claims more is coming soon, and while we don’t know the exact specifics of the folder’s contents, we have verified that it does exist. In fact, the title of many of the documents do correlate to the list of purported information posted by the leaker:
- 英特尔ME COLTUP GUIDES +（FLASH）工具+各种平台的样品
- Kabylake (Purley Platform) BIOS Reference Code and Sample Code + Initialization code (some of it as exported git repos with full history)
- Intel CEFDK (Consumer Electronics Firmware Development Kit (Bootloader stuff)) SOURCES
- Silicon / FSP source code packages for various platforms
- Various Intel Development and Debugging Tools
- 火箭湖的SIMICS仿真与潜在的其他平台
- Various roadmaps and other documents
- 用于SPACKX的相机驱动程序英特尔二进制文件
- 未发布的Tiger Lake平台的原理图，文档，工具+固件
- （非常可怕的）Kabylake FDK培训视频
- Intel Trace Hub + decoder files for various Intel ME versions
- Elkhart Lake Silicon参考和平台示例代码
- 一些Xeon平台的Verilog内容，不确定它是什么。
- Debug BIOS/TXE builds for various Platforms
- Bootguard SDK (encrypted zip)
- 英特尔雪橇/雪飞过程模拟器ADK
- Various schematics
- Intel Marketing Material Templates (InDesign)
- Lots of other things
Kottman, who has been behind other data dumps of proprietary information in the past, claims the hacker “breached” Intel, which the company denies. Kottman also said the files were obtained earlier this year, adding “most of the things here have NOT been published ANYWHERE before and are classified as confidential, under NDA or Intel Restricted Secret.” The source says more files will be shared soon, and “the future parts of this leak will have even juicier and more classified stuff.”
Interestingly, Kottman also notes “If you find password protected zips in the release the password is probably either “Intel123” or “intel123″. This was not set by me or my source, this is how it was acquired from Intel.”
