Reverse Engineering Supermicro IPMI

Supermicro enforces a vendor-lock in on BIOS updates via IPMI, even though they publish the update files for free here. The only free alternative is to time-travel to 1995 and boot from a DOS disk to supply the update. All other options (including the Supermicro Server Manager) require a license.

 

MAC-SHA1-96(INPUT: MAC address of BMC, SECRET KEY: 85 44 E3 B4 7E CA 58 F9 58 30 43 F8)

Anybody can create the license key on https://cryptii.com/ by typing on the left side (select Bytes) the MAC address of the IPMI (the BMC), select in the middle HMAC and SHA-1, enter the secret key and on the right side the License Key will appear!
