Attacking And — Defending Bios

: Reducing the attack surface is critical. Platforms like DECAF perform "dynamic surgery" on UEFI binaries to remove unnecessary code without affecting performance, effectively hardening the firmware.

Defending the BIOS requires a multi-layered "Chain of Trust" that begins at the hardware level. Attacking and Defending BIOS

: Open-source tools like CHIPSEC allow administrators to test their systems for known vulnerabilities, such as improperly protected S3 boot scripts or exposed SMI handlers. The Future: Open Source vs. Opaque Firmware : Reducing the attack surface is critical
