PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Small tool that parses output of dmidecode command
from dmidecode import DMIDecode
# create parsing instance by passing dmidecode output
dmi = DMIDecode()
# some of the pre-defined queries
print('Manufacturer:\t', dmi.manufacturer())
print('Model:\t\t', dmi.model())
print('Firmware:\t', dmi.firmware())
print('Serial number:\t', dmi.serial_number())
print('Processor type:\t', dmi.cpu_type())
print('Number of CPUs:\t', dmi.cpu_num())
print('Cores count:\t', dmi.total_enabled_cores())
print('Total RAM:\t{} GB'.format(dmi.total_ram()))
Alternatively instead of running dmidecode locally you can use DMIParse by passing dmidecode output as an argument:
from dmidecode import DMIParse
dmi = DMIParse(raw)
Other information can be easily retrieved by analyzing dmi.data and module code.
Tested with dmidecode versions 2.11, 2.12 and 3.2
