It provides parsing and extraction capabilities for UEFI firmware volumes, capsules, Intel ME modules, Dell PFS updates, and other firmware formats commonly found in BIOS updates from major vendors. The module includes both a programmatic API (via classes like AutoParser) and command-line tools (uefi-firmware-parser script) for common tasks.\n\nThe package is designed for firmware security research, reverse engineering, and analysis workflows. It can detect firmware types automatically, extract nested structures to disk, inject or replace sections within firmware files, and generate firmware descriptors. It supports multiple compression schemes including Tiano/EFI and LZMA, and includes utilities for GUID extraction and IDA Python integration.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with UEFI firmware analysis, security research, or BIOS reverse engineering. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides both programmatic and CLI interfaces. Install friction is moderate due to compilation requirements, but pre-built wheels are available for common platforms. Not relevant for general application development."},"id":"uefi-firmware","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uefi-firmware","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uefi-firmware.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/uefi-firmware/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"uefi-firmware","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Various data structures and parsing tools for UEFI firmware."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":281727,"position":8093,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.16"}
