dmidecode
dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computers DMI (some say SMBIOS) ta
ble contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a descrip
tion of the systems hardware components, 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.
