CHIPSEC_GUI

There’s a relatively new GUI front-end to the command line-based CHIPSEC project, called CHISPEC_GUI. This GUI for chipsec 1.2.5 provides a fairly simple design but lets you select each module that you want to run. It is made with PyQt4. It is getting updated to Chipsec 1.3.0 with the appropriate module additions written into the GUI. It was originally written in Persian by Emad Helmi, and translated to English by Alex Floyd of PreOS-Security.

Shell script for Laszlo’s SMM test environment article

Laszlo Ersek of Red Hat wrote a wiki article on tianocore.org[1], showing how to setup the EDK2 with QEMU/OVMF for testing SMM code using Fedora.

Recently, Alex Floyd of PreOS Security wrote a shell script to codify this wiki article[2].

Laszlo’s wiki is dense, I expect this script will be useful for some UEFI firmware engineers and security researchers.

According to Alex, “some things needed tweaking to get to work, and the Windows portion of the tutorial is not included in the script.”
