Usage

Simple. Download and run DisableAMT.exe, and it will do the work for you. This is based on the instructions provided by the INTEL-SA-00075 Mitigation Guide

When executing the tool, it will run quickly and when done, will present you with the following screen: Intel AMT disabler

Type Y or N if you would also like to automatically disable (by renaming) the actual LMS.exe (Intel Local Management Service) binary. When finished, a logfile will open up. Reboot your machine at this point.

That's all!

Details about the tool

The tool is simply written in batch, and has the necessary components inside to unconfigure AMT. The batch file was compiled to an executable using the free version of Quick Batch File Compiler, and subsequently packed with UPX to reduce filesize. Additionally, ACUConfig.exe and ACU.dll from Intel's Setup and Configuration Software package is included. You may find all these files in the 'src' folder.
