Platbox – UEFI And SMM Assessment Tool

Platbox – UEFI and SMM Assessment Tool is a tool that helps assessing the security of the platform:

  • Dumps the platform registers that are interesting security-wise
    • Flash Locks
    • MMIO and Remapping Locks
    • SMM Base and Locks
    • MSRs
  • RW access to the PCI configuration space of devices.
  • RW to physical memory and virtual memory.
  • Allows allocating physical memory and map memory to user mode with Platbox
  • Read and Write MSRs.
  • Dump SPI Flash content (BIOS) into a file.
  • Basic dumb SMI Fuzzer.
  • Dump S3 Bootscript (from SMM-Lockbox) into a file.

  • PlatboxLib: the usermode component that loads the kernel driver and provides access to all the previously listed features.
  • PlatboxCli: a console client that uses the library.
  • Pocs: an example of a program using features from the libary.
