"dmidecode" is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a description of the system's hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. We can retrieve this information without  having  to  probe  for  the actual hardware.
