Awesome UEFI Security
A single-README awesome list of UEFI and BIOS security material, which its maintainer describes as a personal and not comprehensive collection. It links UEFI, PI and ACPI specifications, EDK II development resources, firmware analysis tools such as UEFITool, efiXplorer, CHIPSEC and UEFI plugins for Ghidra and Binary Ninja, SMM-themed CTF challenges, analyses of bootkits found in the wild, vulnerability write-ups, conference talks, blog posts, papers and training courses.

Requirements & limits
- The reviewed README was last changed by a pull request merged on 2025-09-04 that fixed the UEFITool link; the last addition, a 2025 arXiv paper, was committed on 2025-02-01. It holds about 230 linked entries in ten sections, including roughly 35 tools, 57 talks, 71 blog posts and 14 papers.
- Most tool entries have no description, and no entry states maintenance status, supported firmware, platform or license. The list itself contains no firmware images, SDKs or tools.
- Several sections cover offensive material, including bootkit and SMM backdoor repositories, exploit code and a Secure Boot bypass project.
- CC0-1.0 for the list; linked works keep their own licenses. CI runs awesome-lint on pull requests.
