I was only pointing out that you were wrong to assume that Dustin was
writing about sharing his disassembly and analysis with blackhats in an
unnamed forum. The forum he is talking about is working to fight malware
and this LoJack implementation has real-world malware implications if
it can be subverted and is security through obscurity if it can be defeated.

I know a thing or two about computers myself, and IMO Dustin is fully
capable of reading BIOS and expansion ROM and analyzing it for
security.

I'm wondering if it uses the UNDI that was part of the PXE specification
and that simply disabling your NIC through software is not enough to
defeat the 'calling home' feature. I hope he does decide to divulge at
least *some* of his analysis here (the spyware group) because it is on
topic and interesting to me.

He's a whitehat now, the anonymous character assassination posts
should be ignored.
