## **AMI BIOS Guard Extractor**
![]()
#### **Description**
Parses AMI BIOS Guard (a.k.a. PFAT, Platform Firmware Armoring Technology) images, extracts their SPI/BIOS/UEFI firmware components and decompiles the Intel BIOS Guard Scripts. It supports all AMI PFAT revisions and formats, including those with Index Information tables or nested AMI PFAT structures. The output comprises only final firmware components which are directly usable by end users.

#### **Description**
Parses Apple EFI images and identifies them based on Intel's official $IBIOSI$ tag, which contains info such as Model, Version, Build, Date and Time. Optionally, the utility can rename the input Apple EFI image based on the retrieved $IBIOSI$ tag info, while also making sure to differentiate any EFI images with the same $IBIOSI$ tag (e.g. Production, Pre-Production) by appending a checksum of their data.
