Episode Synopsis

Today Nathaniel Mitchell and Dan Scott joined us from Intel to discuss the ChipSec project, an open-source platform security assessment framework, available at https://github.com/chipsec/chipsec .  Specifically, ChipSec "is a framework for analyzing the security of PC platforms including hardware, system firmware (BIOS/UEFI), and platform components" -- for both Windows and Linux (although as we discuss, getting it to work on Windows requires some leg-work).  This was a really interesting talk and it included a very impressive demo!  We learned a lot and we're very thankful that not just one but two busy engineers from Intel took the time to talk to us today about their fascinating software tool.
