SMBIOS Decoder

Purpose

The command line alias console program DMIPRINT.EXE for Microsoft^® Windows^® NT decodes and prints the SMBIOS information embedded in the firmware alias BIOS.
DMIPRINT.LOG and DMIPRINT.TXT show typical outputs.

Note: when started per double-click, i.e. in its own console window, DMIPRINT.EXE waits for a keypress before it exits and the console window closes.

Specification

DMIPRINT.EXE supports DMTF’s SMBIOS DSP0134 version 3.2.0, 14 May 2018.

Implementation and Build Details

DMIPRINT.EXE is a pure Win32 binary executable, written from scratch in ANSI C, built without the MSVCRT libraries, with the ~~Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2~~ Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2010 SP1 from update 2519277, for use on Windows Server 2003 and newer versions of Windows NT as well as Windows PE 2.0 and newer versions.

DMIPRINT.EXE is available for the I386 alias x86 and AMD64 alias x64 processor architectures of Windows NT.

Note: DMIPRINT.EXE is neither based on other tools like dmidecode or libsmbios nor related to any of them!

Authenticity and Integrity

DMIPRINT.EXE is digitally signed using an X.509 certificate issued by WEB.DE TrustCenter E-Mail Certification Authority.

Serial number of the certificate: 73780985; 0x0465CEF9
Fingerprint of the certificate: MD5: 33 33 6e 1d 26 18 a7 c2 be 87 11 68 05 2c 70 09; SHA-1: 8c 5b 75 21 40 41 77 ac 54 13 13 02 06 6b b0 69 10 2e 83 0e

Download and install the CA and root X.509 certificates of WEB.DE to validate and verify the digital signature.

Note: due to its counter signature alias timestamp the digital signature remains valid past the X.509 certificates expiration date!

don’t hesitate to contact me and feel free to ask, comment, criticise, flame, notify or report!

Use the X.509 certificate to send S/MIME encrypted mail.

Notes: I dislike HTML (and even weirder formats too) in email, I prefer to receive plain text.
I also expect to see a full (real) name as sender, not a nickname!
Emails in weird formats and without a proper sender name are likely to be discarded.
I abhor top posts and expect inline quotes in replies.
