Re-structured utilities as BIOSUtility inherited
Re-structured project for 3rd-party compatibility
Unified project requirements and package version
Code overhaul with type hints and linting support
Switched external executable dependencies via PATH
BIOSUtility enforces simple check and parse methods
Utilities now work with both path and buffer inputs
Adjusted class, method, function names and parameters
Improved Dell PFS Update Extractor sub-PFAT processing
Improved Award BIOS Module Extractor corruption handling
Improved Apple EFI Image Identifier to expose the EFI ID
Improved Insyde iFlash/iFdPacker Extractor with ISH & PDT
Re-written Apple EFI Package Extractor to support all PKG
Improved Toshiba COM detection (pattern only, no file extension)
Improved input object handling to support both paths and bytes
Populated code type hints and applied few small improvements
Added AMI PFAT nested detection at each file
Added Award BIOS payload naming at each file
Switched Panasonic BIOS LZNT1 external library
Improved Panasonic LZNT1 detection and length
Improved Dell PFS code structure and fixed bugs
Improved code exception handling (raise, catch)
Improved code definitions (PEP8, docs, types)
Fixed some arguments missing from help screens
Parses user-provided (DB) list of Apple Software Update CatalogURL .sucatalog links and saves all newer (since last run) EFI firmware package links into a text file. It removes any xml formatting, ignores false positives, removes duplicate links and sorts them in alphabetical order for easy comparison afterwards.
Dell PFS Update Extractor v5.0 is a complete refactor/re-design of the previous Dell PFS BIOS Extractor. The logic of the script has been re-written to be cleaner, smarter, faster and more robust to PFS format changes. Notable new features include:
1) Support for PFS Utilities section extraction, aside from the Firmware one
2) Support and proper extraction of Intel BIOS Guard protected Firmware
3) Support for parsing some newer PFS Information and Signature entries
4) Ability to show verbose output of extraction progress and PFS structures
5) Ability to better integrate the script to other projects via new parameters
6) Extensive code re-structuring in more modular form for future expansion
Fujitsu UPC BIOS Extractor v1.0
Parses Fujitsu UPC images and extracts their Tiano compressed SPI/BIOS firmware component. The output comprises only a final firmware component which is directly usable by end users.
Fujitsu SFX BIOS Extractor v2.1
Small rebranding
Parses Portwell UEFI Unpacker EFI images (usually named "Update.efi"), extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI/EC firmware components and shows all relevant info. It supports all Portwell UEFI Unpacker revisions and formats, including those which contain Tiano compressed files. The output comprises only final firmware components and utilities which are directly usable by end users.
Parses Phoenix SecureCore Technology (SCT) BIOS images and extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components. It supports all Phoenix SCT revisions and formats, including those which are originally LZMA compressed. The output comprises only final firmware components which are directly usable by end users.
Parses AMI UCP (Utility Configuration Program) BIOS images, extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components and shows all relevant info. It supports all AMI UCP revisions and formats, including those with nested AMI UCP or Insyde SFX structures. The output comprises only final firmware components and utilities which are directly usable by end users.
Added AMI PFAT Component new extraction method
Added AMI PFAT Nested PFAT Component extraction
Added Intel BIOS Guard Block Header detailed info
Added Intel BIOS Guard Block Script decompilation
Applied various code fixes & improvements
ABGE v3.0 utility's extracting behavior has now changed. Please read the new README Description. The optional support for Intel BGSL decompilation is provided by the 3rd party dependency "BIOS Guard Script Tool" by @allowitsme. Thanks to @NikolajSchlej for bringing ABGE's v2.0 problematic extraction behavior to my attention.
