  1.  @somehuman7768  You can only look at code for programming FPGAs. But for real chips you sill can't be sure about that. A RISC-V chip could still have another CPU inside on the same CPU die and you won't notice that. The only solution to be sure is to abrade the silicon level for level. But that's not affordable for most of us.

  2. You need to build your own computer based on 74xx Logic family chips: https://youtu.be/0jRgpTp8pR8 A faster alternative are FPGAs, but you can never be sure what really is programmed on the FPGAs. Both solutions are slow compared to modern CPUs. The first solution is very slow. A 8086 is probably faster.

  3.  @rachelslur8729  A Raspberry Pi 3 will do. It can run Wireshark.

  4. A Core 2 Duo is vulnerably to Spectre and Meltdown. Better buy an old Intel 486. This should be secure.

  5.  @TheLibertyfarmer  Spectre can't be fixed with current CPUs. You can only fight against symptomes. And a Core 2 Duo even doesn't get new microcode to fix some of the known vulnerabilities.

  6. Even with RISC-V you won't have a guarantee that the manufacturer didn't implement a backdoor. Here's a secure solution: https://youtu.be/0jRgpTp8pR8

  7.  @cyberp0et  Raspberry Pi is NOT as secure as you think. On Raspberry Pi Linux is running on top of another OS that is making that VideoCore processor usable for Linux.

  8. The only way to be sure is to build your own computer based on old 74xx logic family hardware. Watch this, someone had done this and he is running Minix on it: https://youtu.be/0jRgpTp8pR8 But don't expect a good performance. To make a CPU really fast, your transistors need all to be on the same silicon die.

  9. I am glad that i still own a Intel 80486 DX. It has no IME and no Spectre or Meltdown vulnerability.
