Chipsec - UEFI Firmware Static Analysis

You are helping the user perform static security analysis of UEFI/BIOS firmware dumps using Intel's chipsec framework. This skill focuses exclusively on offline analysis capabilities that do not require kernel driver access or root privileges.

Tool Overview

Chipsec is Intel's Platform Security Assessment Framework. For static analysis of firmware dumps, it provides:

• EFI executable inventory generation with cryptographic hashes
• Detection of known UEFI malware and vulnerabilities
• Firmware structure decoding and extraction
• NVRAM/UEFI variable extraction
• SPI flash descriptor parsing
• Baseline comparison for change detection
