What kind of firmware threats can it detect?

It detects major UEFI implants and vulnerabilities including LoJax, MosaicRegressor, HackingTeam rootkits, ThinkPwn, and FirmwareBleed.

Does this skill require physical hardware access?

No, this skill focuses exclusively on static, offline analysis of firmware dump files such as .bin, .rom, .fd, and .cap files.

Can I use this for firmware change detection?

Yes, you can generate a JSON manifest of a known-good firmware image and use it as a baseline to identify unauthorized modifications in other images.

How do I resolve Chipsec permission errors?

Chipsec requires a writable logs directory. You can fix this by running: sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/logs && sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/logs.

보안 및 테스팅

Performs static security analysis of UEFI and BIOS firmware dumps to detect malware and audit system integrity.

소개

The Chipsec skill integrates Intel's Platform Security Assessment Framework directly into your workflow for deep inspection of UEFI/BIOS firmware images. It allows security researchers and developers to perform offline analysis of firmware dumps without requiring hardware access or kernel drivers. The skill automates the detection of sophisticated UEFI rootkits like LoJax and MosaicRegressor, generates cryptographic inventories of EFI modules, extracts NVRAM variables, and decodes firmware structures to identify vulnerabilities like ThinkPwn and FirmwareBleed, making it an essential tool for IoT pentesting and hardware incident response.
