| | [AI summary] The article discusses the use of Intel Processor Trace (PT) technology to capture code traces from the System Management Mode (SMM) in a computer's BIOS. The authors detail the process of creating a backdoor to access SMM, modifying the SMI dispatcher to redirect execution to a custom shellcode, and using tools like WinIPT and ptxed to analyze the trace data. They also mention challenges such as synchronization issues and the need for cross-platform compatibility, and conclude that this method provides an efficient way to investigate SMM code for vulnerabilities.

| Following up on my first blog post, I've received a few requests to write about setting up a debugging environment; however, since everybody uses different emulators and so on, I'll mainly focus on which config options are useful! You must first obtain the kernel sources for your preferred version before you can set up a kernel suitable for debugging. We'll have to decompress it after that. # use your preferred version $ wget https://git.
