bootkit▌

Analyzes bootkit and advanced rootkit malware that infects the Master Boot Record (MBR), Volume Boot Record (VBR), or UEFI firmware to gain persistence below the operating system. Covers boot sector analysis, UEFI module inspection, and anti-rootkit detection techniques. Activates for requests involving bootkit analysis, MBR malware investigation, UEFI persistence analysis, or pre-OS malware detection.

Analyzes UEFI bootkit persistence mechanisms including firmware implants in SPI flash, EFI System Partition (ESP) modifications, Secure Boot bypass techniques, and UEFI variable manipulation. Covers detection of known bootkit families (BlackLotus, LoJax, MosaicRegressor, MoonBounce, CosmicStrand), ESP partition forensic inspection, chipsec-based firmware integrity verification, and Secure Boot configuration auditing. Activates for requests involving UEFI malware analysis, firmware persistence investigation, boot chain integrity verification, or Secure Boot bypass detection.
