# Hardware/Firmware Evidence Ingest

agent-bom has strong software and model supply-chain coverage. The remaining
hardware supply-chain gap is **evidence that already exists outside agent-bom**:
vendor hardware/firmware SBOMs, signed firmware attestations, BMC/BIOS inventory
exports, and CMDB/EDR feeds.

`agent-bom ingest hardware` maps that operator-provided evidence onto the unified
graph so a host, its firmware (BIOS/BMC/NIC), its GPUs, and any firmware or
GPU-driver advisory become first-class, traversable nodes.

!!! note "Evidence ingest, not firmware scanning"
    This is **not** a firmware scanner. agent-bom does not probe BMC/IPMI, read
    BIOS, or run any device-side agent. It ingests a JSON document you already
    have and projects it onto the graph. Generating that evidence (vendor
    inventory exports, signed attestations, OCSF/CMDB feeds) is out of scope.

## Usage

```bash
# Map evidence onto the graph and stream the graph JSON to stdout
agent-bom ingest hardware evidence.json

# Human-readable summary instead of the raw graph
agent-bom ingest hardware evidence.json -f table

# Write the graph export to a file
agent-bom ingest hardware evidence.json -o hardware-graph.json
```

## Sensitive identifiers are redacted by default

Device and GPU **serial numbers are hashed by default** — only a stable,
salt-free SHA-256 `serial_fingerprint` is stored, and the raw value is dropped
(`serial_redacted: true`). The fingerprint is stable enough to correlate the
same device across evidence files without revealing the serial. No raw firmware
signature blobs are stored — only the attestation posture (signed/verified),
declared algorithm, and provenance.

To retain raw serials (for example on a single-tenant operator workstation),
opt in explicitly:

```bash
agent-bom ingest hardware evidence.json --capture-serials
```

`host_id` is optional; the hostname is used when it is absent. Every field except
the host identifier is optional.

### Graph mapping

| Evidence | Graph node | Notes |
|----------|-----------|-------|
| Host | `RESOURCE` (`resource_kind=hardware_host`) | Carries vendor/model, BIOS/BMC versions, attestation posture, redacted serial |
| BIOS / BMC / firmware component | `RESOURCE` (`resource_kind=firmware`) | Linked to the host with `PART_OF` |
| GPU | `RESOURCE` (`resource_kind=gpu`) | Driver/CUDA/MIG attributes; linked to the host with `PART_OF` |
| Advisory | `VULNERABILITY` | Linked with `AFFECTS` to the precise asset |

The advisory `affects` selector connects an advisory to the asset it impacts:
`host`, `bios`, `bmc`, `firmware:<component>`, or `gpu:<model>`. Unknown or empty
selectors fall back to the host so an advisory is never orphaned. This is what
lets a firmware or GPU-driver advisory connect to the affected host/GPU asset.

### Compliance evidence

Host and firmware nodes carry `compliance_tags` derived from the attestation
state — `hardware-attestation-verified`,
`hardware-attestation-signed-unverified`, or `hardware-attestation-unverified` —
and firmware components are tagged `firmware-signed` / `firmware-unsigned`. These
flow through the graph as durable, queryable compliance evidence alongside
software findings.
