CHIPSEC is a firmware threat assessment tool used to help verify that systems meet basic security best practices. The tool’s threat model is primarily based on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). However, other firmware may have different threat models that will cause failures in different CHIPSEC modules. This session is a brief overview of CHIPSEC, limitations of the tool, failures seen on different types of firmware, and information on developing new test modules.
