In this presentation we address attacks on firmware by detailing a proof-of-concept attack in which a BIOS-infecting attacker can perform a Man-in-the-middle attack against the SMM (System Management Mode). Because this type of attack could go undetected, we show how the next generation of Copernicus, a tool used to inspect BIOS, can be used to detect this type of stealthy cyber attack.
