smcutil for Appple SMCsmcutil is a command line tool for reading Apple's SMC payloads, validating them, fingerprinting them and extracting the contents for disassembly.
Currently looking for a number of MacBooks with good SMCs that may be offered as tribute for save
and waiting on Stellaris development hardware. Anyone have a sub-micron wealder out there?
Install it yourself as:
$ gem install smcutil
$ smcutil
Usage: smcutil {command} [PARAMS]
Command is one of:
validate {file.smc}:
Causes smcutil to parse the Apple SMC file and validate correctness.
info {file.smc}:
Prints information about the SMC update file.
decode {file.smc} {output.bin}:
Pretends to execute an update of the SMC flash as though the output.bin file is the SMC flash ROM.
shred {file.smc} {output_dir}:
Pulls apart each flash region, so that multiple passes can be examined
save {output.bin}:
(IN PROGRESS)
Has magical bear powers. Loads SMC update payload to capture the contents of the application partition.
No warrently, may bork hardware.
