The only real value of the optionrom plugin is the ability to store and verify the ROM checksum; parsing the image is not actually required and is a source of anxiety for various security teams.

OptionROM Support
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This plugin is also able to read and parse the firmware of some PCI devices
|
|
which allows some host state verification to be done.
|
|
|
|
GUID Generation
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.
|
|
|
|
* `PCI\VEN_%04X&DEV_%04X`
|
|
|
|
Vendor ID Security
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The device is not upgradable and thus requires no vendor ID set.
|
|
|
|
External interface access
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
This plugin requires read access to the rom file of PCI devices (`/sys/class/pci_bus/*/device/rom`)
|
