System info
dmidecode tool
dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer’s DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a
human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system’s hardware com-
ponents, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS
revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to
probe for the actual hardware. While this is a good point in terms of report speed and
safeness, this also makes the presented information possibly unreliable.
