Apple Hardware Firmware Catalog, Subsystem Auditor & Edge Compliance API

FirmwareDB combines a native macOS and iOS hardware inspection app with the public firmwaredb.app Cloudflare Edge service. It gives systems engineers and security teams deterministic visibility into low-level Apple Silicon and Intel firmware versions across Boot ROM (iBoot), System Management Controller (SMC), Secure Enclave Processor (SEP), Display Coprocessor (DCP), and peripheral controllers.

Capabilities

10-Subsystem Local Hardware Introspection: Reads live IOKit and DeviceTree properties without kernel extensions or elevated privileges to report exact running firmware builds.
IPSW & OTA Signing Ledger: Tracks active Apple signing windows, build manifests, and cryptographic SHA-256 digests across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS releases.
Offline & Cloud Catalog Sync: Audits single workstations or imported fleet CSV inventories against the signed FirmwareDB baseline.
