Focusing on the use of the Uefi Shell and its recently released formal specification, this book unlocks a wide range of usage models which can help people best utilize the shell solutions. This text also expands on the obvious intended utilization of the shell and explains how it can be used in various areas such as security, networking, configuration, and other anticipated uses such as manufacturing, diagnostics, etc. Among other topics, Harnessing the Uefi Shell demonstrates how to write Shell scripts, how to write a Shell application, how to use provisioning options and more. Since the Shell is also a Uefi component, the book will make clear how the two things interoperate and how both Shell developers as well as Uefi developers can dip into the other's field to further expand the power of their solutions. Harnessing the Uefi Shell is authored by the three chairs of the Uefi working sub-teams, Michael Rothman (Intel, chair of the Uefi Configuration and Uefi Shell sub-teams), Vincent Zimmer (Intel, chair of the Uefi networking sub-team and security sub-team), and Tim Lewis (Insyde Software, chair of the Uefi security sub-team). This book is perfect for any Oems that ship Uefi-based solutions (which is all of the Mncs such as Ibm, Dell, Hp, Apple, etc.), software developers who are focused on delivering solutions targeted to manufacturing, diagnostics, hobbyists, or stand-alone kiosk environments.

In Harnessing the UEFI Shell the authors describe the features and capabilities of the UEFI Shell, with detailed descriptions of how to use it, including many real life examples including specialized memory tests for chip and board validation and manufacturing validation tests. Written specifically for the practicing software engineer, this book enables the reader to quickly become proficient in using and exploiting the UEFI Shell.   "Harnessing the UEFI Shell is a perfect sequel to the Beyond BIOS book. If you are still using or shipping DOS-based solutions, this book is definitely a must-read for all software development engineers. It provides an important bridge between the normative specifications and the informative details of the development and the insights provided by the authors" Dong Wei, Vice President and Chief Executive, the Unified EFI Forum, HP Distinguished Technologist   "Harnessing the UEFI Shell is required reading for the QA engineer and programmer who is using the UEFI shell to develop tools and applications in the design and manufacture of PCs. This book provides the necessary information to learn and study the operation and use of the UEFI shell." Penny Huang, Software Manager, MSI NB    

In Beyond BIOS: Developing with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface the authors have updated the successful first edition to include the latest UEFI specifications and have expanded the scope of the book to include support of embedded and SOC platform designs. "In just a few days, a programmer familiar with C should have a good understanding of how to get started writing UEFI drivers and applications. For those who haven't developed PC BIOS firmware, Beyond BIOS 2nd Edition presents an opportunity to ramp up on the industry standard firmware platform for PCs and start writing UEFI apps as they do apps for today's mobile operating systems."- Steve Jones, Chief Technology Officer, Phoenix Technologies Ltd. "...highly recommend this book as a "deep dive" into the UEFI specifications and the flexibility these standards give to those who choose them. This publication is full of practical information and real-world examples for system designers and can empower them to get and keep a competitive edge in their designs. I would like to commend Intel for compiling such a valuable resource."- S. Shankar, President and CEO, American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) "Our customers were able to gain efficiency and time-to-market advantage from legacy BIOS to Framework and EFI... Beyond BIOS 2nd Edition provides an extremely thorough yet lucid explanation of UEFI and PI that should be helpful to anyone that wants to understand or use this modern firmware environment."- Jonathan Joseph, Executive Vice President, lnsyde Software "...I now require my engineers and students to study this book after their initial UEFI firmware training. Experienced engineers will also find this book helpful for providing a quick overview of firmware architecture."- KangKang Shen, CTO, Nanjing Byosoft. Ltd.

This book provides an overview of modern boot firmware, including the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (Uefi) and its associated Efi Developer Kit Ii (Edkii) firmware. The authors have each made significant contributions to developments in these areas. The reader will learn to use the latest developments in Uefi on modern hardware, including open source firmware and open hardware designs. The book begins with an exploration of interfaces exposed to higher-level software and operating systems, and commences to the left of the boot timeline, describing the flow of typical systems, beginning with the machine restart event. Software engineers working with Uefi will benefit greatly from this book, while specific sections of the book address topics relevant for a general audience: system architects, pre-operating-system application developers, operating system vendors (loader, kernel), independent hardware vendors (such as for plug-in adapters), and developers of end-user applications. As a secondary audience, project technical leaders or managers may be interested in this book to get a feel for what their engineers are doing. The reader will find: * An overview of Uefi and underlying Platform Initialization (Pi) specifications * How to create Uefi applications and drivers * Workflow to design the firmware solution for a modern platform * Advanced usages of Uefi firmware for security and manageability

Rootkits and Bootkits will teach you how to understand and counter sophisticated, advanced threats buried deep in a machine’s boot process or UEFI firmware.With the aid of numerous case studies and professional research from three of the world’s leading security experts, you’ll trace malware development over time from rootkits like TDL3 to present-day UEFI implants and examine how they infect a system, persist through reboot, and evade security software. As you inspect and dissect real malware, you’ll learn:· How Windows boots—including 32-bit, 64-bit, and UEFI mode—and where to find vulnerabilities· The details of boot process security mechanisms like Secure Boot, including an overview of Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) and Device Guard · Reverse engineering and forensic techniques for analyzing real malware, including bootkits like Rovnix/Carberp, Gapz, TDL4, and the infamous rootkits TDL3 and Festi· How to perform static and dynamic analysis using emulation and tools like Bochs and IDA Pro · How to better understand the delivery stage of threats against BIOS and UEFI firmware in order to create detection capabilities· How to use virtualization tools like VMware Workstation to reverse engineer bootkits and the Intel Chipsec tool to dig into forensic analysisCybercrime syndicates and malicious actors will continue to write ever more persistent and covert attacks, but the game is not lost. Explore the cutting edge of malware analysis with Rootkits and Bootkits. Covers boot processes for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
