Hi, I just wrote a blog post to try and help get hardware reviewers to include useful data about firmware security. If you know of any tech reviewers, please forward this to them.
http://firmwaresecurity.com/2015/08/03/new-hardware-reviewers-please-post-chipsec-logs/ Reviewers and citizen-consumers aside, I think the most influential group of consumers are enterprise sysadmins, especially ones in large companies, you have more influence with OEMs, and can help the rest of us smaller consumers. Please help! The test is easy to do,using the open source Intel CHIPSEC tool, which is included on the Intel LUV-live (Linaro UEFI Validation) Linux live-boot distribution. If you have Windows-based systems, MITRE/LegbaCore Copernicus is similar to Intel CHIPSEC, a firmware vulnerability checking tool, but where CHIPSEC is open source and multi-platform, Copernicus is closed-source and Windows only. However, Copernicus scales via Windows deployment tools, so it may be much more effective for you. CHIPSEC works on Intel x86/x64 systems only, no x86 clones (AMD, Transmeta, etc.). Thanks very much!
