Assuming the extraction process was successful, you should now have an
extracted UEFI image file, hidden under an unassuming name such as
`65C10`. Deeper down the rabbit hole, you will now have to extract the
blobs from this image using `uefi-firmware-parser`:
blobs from this image using the `uefi-firmware` Python package, a set of scripts
for parsing, extracting, and recreating UEFI firmware volumes. To install:

```bash
apt install python3-venv python3-pip
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install uefi-firmware==1.9
```

To extract the blobs (you may have to run the command twice):
