New Framework Developed for UEFI Memory Forensics

/ 1 min read

🧠💻 New Framework Introduced for UEFI Memory Forensics to Combat Firmware Threats. A recent study highlights the growing threat of malicious exploitation in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which has become a target for cybercriminals due to its persistent execution environment. To address the lack of forensic tools for analyzing volatile UEFI runtime memory, researchers have developed a framework comprising UefiMemDump for memory acquisition and UEFIDumpAnalysis for detecting malicious activities. This open-source solution aims to enhance below-OS security by enabling detailed investigations into firmware-level threats, including notable bootkits like ThunderStrike and CosmicStrand. The framework’s implementation demonstrates its effectiveness in identifying modern UEFI threats, filling a critical gap in current cybersecurity practices.
