CHIPSEC: Platform Security Assessment Framework
===============================================
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/chipsec/chipsec.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/chipsec/chipsec)
CHIPSEC is a framework for analyzing the security of PC platforms including hardware, system firmware (BIOS/UEFI), and platform components. It includes a security test suite, tools for accessing various low level interfaces, and forensic capabilities. It can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and UEFI shell. Instructions for installing and using CHIPSEC can be found in the [manual](chipsec-manual.pdf).
NOTE: This software is for security testing purposes. Use at your own risk. Read [WARNING.txt](chipsec/WARNING.txt) before using.
First version of CHIPSEC was released in March 2014:
