@mauve Even with such tool, you have absolutely no warranty that a covert stack, operating in supervisor, or directly within the south bridge SoC handling many peripherals, including the default ethernet controller, with an hidden Linux RTOS, is not sending or receiving stuff without the main CPU / OS knowledge. Still it's better than nothing.
Lol the default arch linux package doesn't run because of some sort of protobuf python bindings mismatch 🤷
