Hello list,
I found this project two days ago and I like it. While I am not a programming expert, I do have some interest in this project because I want to understand BIOS more in-depth. I am reading right now the "BIOS disassembly ninjustu uncovered" and I am looking in BIOS modification to help the process of Malware Reverse Engineering. By having a "side" access to the BIOS while the OS is running, I am wondering if I could have an access to the RAM to allow some sort of low level debugging that would be unnoticed. By side access, It could be like redirecting ACPI events to actually dump the content of the memory on a harddrive which is only seen by the BIOS for instance, or having some sort of console connection straight on the BIOS (serial port ?) to allow to freeze the host when a specific part of the memory is being accessed (breakpoint on hardware level).Note that most of the malware are running on Windows, si I have to be able to use windows as OS.
I am very new in the BIOS world and I am far from being an expert on reverse engineering, so I hope that what I am saying is not just garbage but can actually be done with some coding effort. Do not hesitate to tell me your thoughts about this idea
Anyway, glad to be a member of this list, and I hope to be helpful.
Kind regards,
