Use when reverse-engineering a binary or firmware — static triage + decompilation (Ghidra/IDA/Binary Ninja), dynamic instrumentation (GDB/Frida 17/angr), anti-reversing & packer bypass, OLLVM/VM deobfuscation, UEFI/BIOS RE & Secure Boot research, patch-diffing for n-days

We have extracted a vendor motherboard SPI flash binary image named firmware.bin. We need to map out UEFI DXE and PEI driver volumes and scan for PKfail or known compromised keys. Which specialized triage script should be executed against the raw firmware file?
