Detect BIOS and MCPX ROM version and type #11

Open StrikerX3 opened 6 years ago

StrikerX3 commented 6 years ago

Find out if there is a reliable method to identify if the BIOS ROM provided is a retail or debug version, what version of the kernel it implements, and perhaps go even further and detect if it is a hacked BIOS.

The same applies to the MCPX ROM. This should be much easier to detect.

One possible method is to maintain a database of known ROM dumps along with their hashes. The database will provide all the metadata necessary to identify the ROM.

This could be a useful resource for building a database of BIOSes.
