CHIPSEC is a framework designed for analyzing the security of PC platforms, focusing on hardware, system firmware (BIOS/UEFI), and platform components. The framework provides a comprehensive security test suite that enables security professionals to assess various low-level system interfaces and configurations.
The tool offers forensic capabilities for investigating system-level security issues and can access low-level hardware interfaces that are typically difficult to examine. CHIPSEC supports cross-platform operation, running on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and UEFI shell environments.
The framework includes functionality for detecting firmware vulnerabilities, analyzing hypervisor configurations, and exploring system assets at the hardware level. It can identify firmware implants and assess the security posture of platform components that operate below the operating system level.
CHIPSEC follows a structured release convention using major.minor.patch versioning, with changes to arguments or calling conventions reserved for minor version updates. The tool has been integrated into several security-focused Linux distributions and validation projects.
