This report details the technical functionality, structure, and current state of tools designed to extract and parse AMI BIOS Guard modules. BIOS Guard is a security technology implemented by American Megatrends International (AMI) to ensure the integrity of firmware updates via a signed capsule architecture.
Recent updates to extraction tools—specifically derived from the amibgs open-source project—have simplified the process of reverse-engineering these containers. These tools allow security researchers to validate firmware signatures, inspect internal components, and detect potential supply chain vulnerabilities.
