Use Intel CHIPSEC to inspect firmware protections, including BIOS write locks and Secure Boot settings. Save test results, extract firmware for offline comparison, and review UEFI variables to investigate configuration weaknesses or suspicious changes.
Investigate malware that survives OS reinstallation by checking UEFI firmware, boot files, and Secure Boot settings. Use chipsec and supporting tools to compare trusted baselines, identify bootkit indicators, and document findings.
Audit Secure Boot settings, revoked boot components, and EFI startup files on Linux and Windows. The skill helps identify missing protections and signs of bootkits, malicious software that runs before the operating system.
Use Intel CHIPSEC to assess platform firmware configuration, SPI flash write protection, BIOS lock, SMM/SMRR, and Secure Boot variable state, dump SPI flash, and triage UEFI variables for firmware-level threats.

Static analysis of UEFI/BIOS firmware dumps using Intel's chipsec framework. Decode firmware structure, detect known malware and rootkits (LoJax, ThinkPwn, HackingTeam, MosaicRegressor), generate EFI executable inventories with hashes, extract NVRAM variables, and parse SPI flash descriptors. Use when analyzing firmware .bin/.rom/.fd/.cap files offline without requiring hardware access.

Analyzes UEFI bootkit persistence mechanisms including firmware implants in SPI flash, EFI System Partition (ESP) modifications, Secure Boot bypass techniques, and UEFI variable manipulation. Covers detection of known bootkit families (BlackLotus, LoJax, MosaicRegressor, MoonBounce, CosmicStrand), ESP partition forensic inspection, chipsec-based firmware integrity verification, and Secure Boot configuration auditing. Activates for requests involving UEFI malware analysis, firmware persistence investigation, boot chain integrity verification, or Secure Boot bypass detection.

Investigate malware hidden in boot records, UEFI firmware, or the operating system’s core. The skill guides evidence collection, boot integrity checks, firmware and memory analysis, and reporting of persistence mechanisms and remediation steps when compromise survives an OS reinstall.
Detect bootkits such as BlackLotus and Bootkitty and Secure Boot bypass via DBX and binary checks.
