Just ran the tool in Linux (Its just a python script really.) Thankfully my laptop is not vulnerable. To do in Linux: - download the SA00086_Linux.tar.gz from Intel-SA-00086 Detection Tool page (same page also has Windows version .exe . Documentation is included)
- extract it to a folder give files an executable permission: intel_sa00086.py and spsInfoLinux64 (for 64 bit CPU)
- in a terminal run the command with admin priviledges: sudo ./intel_sa00086.py that's it. Also a .log file is generated in the same folder will contain the same info.
