Intel announced plans today to open-source a new firmware security testing tool named HBFA –or the Host-based Firmware Analyzer.

The new project, a security testing tool for UEFI-based firmware, will be formally introduced at next week’s RSA 2019 security conference that will be held in San Francisco.

Intel’s upcoming HBFA project will join the ranks of other firmware security testing tools such as CHIPSEC, Intel Intelligent Test System (ITS), Excite, and Simics.

The difference, according to Intel, is that HBFA has been designed to be used for testing the firmware’s source code before it’s integrated and packed for specific platforms.
