v3.20
|
Decrypts the passwords used in some most common BIOS (IBM, AMI, Award and Phoenix). Saves/restores BIOS setup settings. Saves the part of the RAM dedicated for the BIOS. Performs brutal attacks (”blasters”) which removes password from a lot of Bioses. A bit dangerous though, can give unexpected and unwanted results. CMOS hex editor can modify the CMOS/NVRAM memory in binary, decimal and hexadecimal ways(only for very experienced hackers). Built-in support pages which provides several tricks and tips, notes about known backdoors etc.
