## **Dell PFS BIOS Extractor**
## **Dell HDR Module Extractor**
![](https://i.imgur.com/kN9aKCm.png)
#### **Description**
Parses modern icon-less Dell BIOS HDR executables and extracts their SPI/BIOS modules. After extraction, the HDR image is automatically unpacked into individual SPI/BIOS modules via [LongSoft's PFSExtractor-RS](https://github.com/LongSoft/PFSExtractor-RS) tool.
Parses modern icon-less Dell PFS BIOS executables and extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components. It supports all Dell PFS formats, including those which are originally compressed or split in chunks. The output comprises only final firmware components which are directly usable by end users. An optional Advanced user mode is available as well, which additionally extracts firmware Signatures and more Metadata.
#### **Usage**
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Dell HDR executables.

## **AMI BIOS Guard Extractor**
#### **Description**
Parses AMI BIOS Guard (a.k.a. PFAT) images and extracts a proper SPI/BIOS image.
#### **Usage**
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing AMI PFAT images.
#### **Download**
An already built/frozen/compiled binary is provided by me for Windows only. Thus, **you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it under Windows**. Instead, download the latest version from the [Releases](https://github.com/platomav/BIOSUtilities/releases) tab. To extract the already built/frozen/compiled archive, you need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. Note that you need to manually apply any prerequisites.
#### **Compatibility**

## **Apple EFI File Renamer**
![](https://i.imgur.com/mWGhWja.png)
#### **Description**
Parses Apple EFI files and renames them based on Intel's official $IBIOSI$ tag as follows: Model_Version_Build_Year_Month_Day_Hour_Minute_Checksum. The checksum is calculated and added by the utility in order to differentiate any EFI files with the same $IBIOSI$ tag. In rare cases in which the $IBIOSI$ tag is compressed, the utility automatically first uses [LongSoft's UEFIFind and UEFIExtract](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool) tools.

## **Apple EFI Package Extractor**
![](https://i.imgur.com/pufGuZ4.png)
#### **Description**
Parses Apple EFI firmware packages (i.e. FirmwareUpdate.pkg, BridgeOSUpdateCustomer.pkg), extracts their EFI images, splits those in IM4P format and renames the final SPI/BIOS images accordingly. The utility automatically uses the free version of [AnyToISO](https://www.crystalidea.com/anytoiso) to extract the EFI .pkg files. The subsequent IM4P splitting and EFI renaming requires the presence of "Apple EFI IM4P Splitter" and "Apple EFI File Renamer" utilities.
#### **Usage**
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Apple EFI firmware package (.pkg) files. Depending on where AnyToISO is installed on your system, you must change the "anytoiso_path" variable accordingly.
#### **Download**
An already built/frozen/compiled binary is **not** provided because the script requires the user to set the AnyToISO executable path variable. Remember that you need to include prerequisites such as AnyToISO, Apple EFI IM4P Splitter and Apple EFI File Renamer for the utility to work.
#### **Compatibility**
Should work at all Windows & macOS operating systems which have Python 3.7 and AnyToISO support.
#### **Prerequisites**
To run the python script, you need to have the following 3rd party tools installed or placed at the same directory:
* [AnyToISO](https://www.crystalidea.com/anytoiso) (i.e. anytoiso.exe)
* [UEFIFind](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool) (i.e. UEFIFind.exe)
