Firmware Blindspot

Every security tool in your stack operates above the operating system. EDR agents, antivirus scanners, vulnerability managers, and file integrity monitors all sit in user space or kernel space. Below them is the firmware - UEFI, BMC, SPI flash, and the hardware root of trust. Firmware Blindspot is the complete reference on UEFI, BMC, and hardware-level attacks and defenses. Written by Imad Muratspahic, it covers the entire firmware attack surface, from Secure Boot bypass and SPI flash implants to BMC out-of-band compromise and supply chain firmware tampering - plus the detection and defense controls that actually work.

Imad Muratspahic is an independent author of practical how-to guides, technical handbooks, history and fiction. The books aim to be clear, honest and useful from the first page.
