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.
Detect bootkits such as BlackLotus and Bootkitty and Secure Boot bypass via DBX and binary checks.

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.
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.
Plan security testing for IoT and embedded devices, from circuit board inspection and firmware analysis to wireless links, companion apps, and cloud APIs. Includes tools, investigation checklists, and guidance for documenting findings.
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.

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.

IoT and embedded device security testing methodology. Covers hardware reconnaissance (UART, JTAG, SWD, SPI flash, I2C EEPROM, eMMC chip-off), firmware acquisition (vendor portals, OTA capture, flash dump, binwalk extraction), firmware analysis (filesystem mounting, binary triage, hardcoded secrets, default credential discovery), bootloader attacks (U-Boot console, secure-boot bypass, fault injection), runtime attacks on embedded Linux/RTOS (busybox CVEs, MTD writes, /dev/mem), wireless protocol attacks (Zigbee, BLE, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, Thread/Matter, sub-GHz), MQTT/CoAP/Modbus/BACnet/OPC-UA exploitation, mobile companion app analysis, cloud-IoT API abuse, and side-channel/glitching basics. Use for IoT pentest, smart-home assessment, ICS/OT testing, or embedded vulnerability research.
