CHIPSEC

CHIPSEC is a framework designed for analyzing the security of PC platforms. This includes the evaluation of hardware, system firmware (such as BIOS and UEFI), and various platform components.

It includes a comprehensive security test suite, tools for accessing various low-level interfaces, and forensic capabilities for detailed analysis.

CHIPSEC can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and UEFI shell. You can find instructions for installing and using CHIPSEC in the manual. NOTE: This software is intended for security testing purposes only. Use it at your own risk. Please read WARNING.txt before using. The first version of CHIPSEC was released in March 2014, with an announcement made at CanSecWest 2014. There was a recent presentation on how to utilize CHIPSEC to identify vulnerabilities in firmware, hypervisors, and hardware configurations. It also covers exploring low-level system assets and detecting firmware implants: "Exploring Your System Deeper." Release Convention: CHIPSEC follows a major.minor.patch versioning system. Any changes to the arguments or calling conventions will be reserved for a minor version update. Projects That Include CHIPSEC: ArchStrike, BlackArch Linux, and Linux UEFI Validation (LUV) (Archived).
