On Way to Simplify the Reverse Engineering of UEFI Firmwares

On Way to Simplify the Reverse Engineering of UEFI Firmwares

연구 분야: Analysis

학회: International Conference on Advances in Cyber Security

In this paper authors introduce an algorithm to simplification of UEFI firmware reverse engineering via limiting the amount of code examined on Intel-based systems, which is based on proprietary UEFI protocols searching. The provided implementation of the algorithm is tested on few platforms that are Gigabyte BRIX, Razer Blade Stealth and Intel NUC based on 7th Generation Intel(R) Processor Families. As a result, UEFI modules that contain references to proprietary protocols were defined.
