CHIPSEC v1.2.5 – Platform Security Assessment Framework.
CHIPSEC is a framework for analyzing the security of PC platforms including hardware, system firmware
(BIOS/UEFI), and the configuration of platform components. It includes a security test suite, security assessment
tools for various low level components/interfaces, and basic forensic capabilities for firmware.
CHIPSEC can run from Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and UEFI Shell.
