Firmware security research company Binarly has discovered four new vulnerabilities affecting the UEFI (Unified Extensible ...

While BIOS is stored on a chip and has a basic interface, UEFI lives on a dedicated partition and often includes a graphical UI with mouse support. UEFI also enables faster boot times, Secure Boot, ...

By using insecure NVRAM variables, many UEFI BIOS versions allow SecureBoot to be bypassed or the firmware to be replaced.

So when we say “BIOS update,” we mean "UEFI firmware update", at least on modern systems. Now, why would you even want to flash your firmware?

But what if you only have UEFI and need BIOS to run a piece of older software? Never fear, because here’s CSMWrap, which brings it back, just for you.

The BIOS/UEFI is the fundamental firmware that your PC runs on. Here's what you need to know about it.

"UEFI is extensible, unlike BIOS." Again a lie. BIOS has been extensible from the very start and it has been defined in its specification. Practically every graphics card has a BIOS extension on its ...

What is BIOS? BIOS is typically described as the “heart” of a computer. It stands for Basic Input/Output System, and it is an essential type of firmware since it operates before the operating system ...

This paper proposes a novel methodology for supporting multiple system on chip and intellectual property UEFI drivers like peripheral component interconnect in a same firmware for basic input output ...

Is UEFI better or should you use BIOS? We explain the difference between BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) & UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) in depth.

A computer's basic input/output system—or BIOS—lives in a small chip on the motherboard, and manages the most basic instructions that operate your computer. It allows the PC to power on, boot ...
