I have a Lenovo M82 box and it has Intel ME. Which means UDP traffic on port 623 just disappears into a black hole without a trace.

Is there any way to completely switch this effect off? Disabling it in BIOS (or playing with settings in Intel ME bios) so far produced zero effect -- it keeps eating all UDP packets on port 623.

Here's a concise, plain English guide to disabling Intel AMT

Intel AMT is the OS Layer to Intel ME. In some chipsets you can disable Intel ME by following these instructions (at your own risk). Newer chipsets (Haswell on) have Intel Boot Guard set in Verified Boot, which renders the solution above unusable.

UPDATE 2018: Starting with Intel AMT Release 12.0, it is possible to globally disable Intel AMT.
