A comprehensive framework for advanced forensic analysis of UEFI firmware and boot process integrity. It details methods to detect firmware implants in SPI flash, audit UEFI variables (PK, KEK, DB), inspect the EFI System Partition (ESP) for unauthorized components, and analyze boot chain anomalies. Ideal for investigating advanced persistent threats (APTs) and verifying system security posture against rootkits and bootkit techniques.

CHIPSEC is an open-source framework designed to assess the low-level security configuration of x86 platform firmware and hardware. It verifies critical security controls such as SPI flash write protection, BIOS locks, SMM/SMRR configuration, and Secure Boot variable integrity. Users can run automated tests, dump SPI flash memories for forensics, and detect potential firmware implants that persist below the operating system layer.
