NAME

     ethcheck -- check the integrity of Broadcom Ethernet devices' firmware.

SYNOPSIS

     ethcheck --integrity-check [-b filename]
     ethcheck --show-hashes [-b filename]
     ethcheck --save -b filename
     ethcheck --cleanup -b filename
     ethcheck --version
     ethcheck --help

DESCRIPTION

     Ethcheck is an application-layer tool to check the integrity of Broadcom Ethernet devices' firmware.

     The following commands can be used with ethcheck:

     --integrity-check attempt to automatically determine which firmware you are running, integrity check against the appropriate file, and report
     the check result. It requires root privileges.

     --integrity-check -b filename integrity check the firmware image, and report the check result.

     --show-hashes print the hashes for the current system's Ethernet devices' firmware to stdout. It requires root privileges.

     --show-hashes -b filename print the hashes for the given firmware image to stdout.

     --save -b filename save this Ethernet device(s)'s firmware in file. It requires root privileges. File name(s) will begin with specificed
     filename and be selected according to device ID(s), machine model name, and firmware's version(s). E.g. filename-eth0-0x14e4-0x1686.nvram.bin

     --cleanup -b filename zero any privacy-sensitive data (such as MAC address), enabling the file to be shared for analysis.

     --version print out ethcheck version number.

     --help display a short help.

NAME

     firmwarepasswd -- tool for setting and removing firmware passwords on a system

SYNOPSIS

     firmwarepasswd [-setpasswd] [-setmode mode] [-mode] [-check] [-delete] [-verify] [-unlockseed] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

     The firmwarepasswd command is used to add or remove firmware passwords from a system as well as check status and other options.  The
     firmwarepasswd command requires root privileges to run.

     A list of flags and their descriptions:

     -setpasswd
	     Prompts to add a new firmware password or change and existing password if one exists.

     -setmode mode
	     Set the mode to "command" or "full".  "Command" will prompt for the firmware password if the user attempts to boot from a different
	     volume.  "Full" will prompt on every startup (not recommended).

     -mode   Displays the current mode if one is set.

     -check  Displays whether or not a firmware password is set.

     -delete
	     Prompts for password and clears both password and the mode if correct.

     -verify
	     Prompts for password and displays success if correct.

     -unlockseed
	     Generates a firmware password recovery key.  Note: Machine must be stable for this command to generate a valid seed.  No pending
	     changes that need a restart.  NOTE: Seed is only valid until the next time a firmware password command runs.

     -h      Displays a list of all the commands available in the firmwarepasswd tool, with explanatory information.
