NAME
eficheck -- check the integrity of the x86 flash chip firmware.
SYNOPSIS
eficheck --integrity-check [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file]
eficheck --show-hashes [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file]
eficheck --generate-hashes [-h EFI-hash-output-file] [-p output-path]
eficheck --save [-b EFI-binary-output-file]
eficheck --cleanup [-b EFI-binary-input-and-output-file>]
eficheck --version
eficheck --help
DESCRIPTION
eficheck is a tool to check the x86 flash chip firmware.
The following commands can be used with eficheck:
--integrity-check hashes portion of the firmware and compares against known-good hashes
--generate-hashes outputs hashes for a given firmware to be used as known-good hashes
--show-hashes shows the hashes for the sub-sections of the firmware which are measured
--save saves the full flash chip contents to a binary file. Requires root privileges.
--cleanup zeros any privacy-sensitive data (such as nvram), enabling the file to be shared for analysis.
--version print out eficheck version number.
--help display a short help.
EXAMPLES
'eficheck --save -b firmware.bin'
Save this system's EFI firmware as firmware.bin
'eficheck --cleanup -b firmware.bin'
Overwrite the EFI variables portion of the firmware.bin, in place
'eficheck --generate-hashes'
Analyze the current system's installed EFI firmware, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder
File name(s) will be selected according to image's EFI version(s)
'eficheck --generate-hashes -b firmware.bin'
Analyze the firmware.bin, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder. Filename will be based on the detected
firmware version.
'eficheck --generate-hashes -p /usr/local/allowlists'

'eficheck --integrity-check'
Attempt to automatically determine which firmware you are running, and integrity check against the appropriate file, and report
any differences

B08, and report any differences
'eficheck --integrity-check -h hash.ealf -b firmware.bin'
Compare the given hash file against against the given firmware image and report any differences
'eficheck --show-hashes'
Print the hashes for the current system's installed EFI firmware to stdout
'eficheck --show-hashes -b firmware.bin'
