      no, that just wakes the system up.

      this is about when the UEFI is configured to boot from network, instead of booting the operating system installed to a local disk.

      No, it’s a vulnerability with PXE booting, AKA “boot to network”. While most hardware has the capability (often used to load the device in the first place), I would question how many are set to use this on a routine basis.

      This sounds like something scary in a lab, but nearly useless in the real world.
