Intel Security has released a tool that allows users to check if
 their computer's low-level system firmware has been modified and
 contains unauthorized code.

The release comes after CIA documents leaked Tuesday revealed that
 the agency has developed EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface)
 rootkits for Apple's Macbooks. A rootkit is a malicious program
 that runs with high privileges -- typically in the kernel -- and
 hides the existence of other malicious components and
 activities.
