chipsec: Platform Security Assessment Framework
CHIPSEC
CHIPSEC is a framework for analyzing the security of PC platforms including hardware, system firmware (BIOS/UEFI), and platform components. It includes a security test suite, tools for accessing various low-level interfaces, and forensic capabilities. It can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and UEFI shell. Instructions for installing and using CHIPSEC can be found in the manual.
NOTE: This software is for security testing purposes. Use at your own risk. Read WARNING.txt before using.
