specget

specget is a portable tool designed for refurbishers to get all required specifications of an iMac or MacBook without having to create a User account.

For acquiring battery information for Venutra/Sonoma, or for completely negating this applications existence please check the wiki!!

Usage

From terminal on a MacOS install USB:

/Volumes/Image\ Volume/specget

The exact command may vary depending on if you gave your USB a name, just check the /Volumes/ directory

specget can currently get

• CPU name & clock speed
• GPU name & VRAM (AMD only)
• Hard Drive Size, Type, Protocol
• Serial Number
• Model ID (i.e. iMac 18,3)
• MacBook Battery Cycle Count (*Install required)
• MacBook Battery Condition (*Install required)

"Install required" Commands

Whilst no user account needs to be made, an installation of MacOS with partition name "Macintosh HD" is required for these commands to work. In order to achieve this:

• Boot into your install USB
• Install MacOS as normal, making sure to call the hard-drive partition Macintosh HD
• Once installation is complete (i.e. you are at the "Welcome" screen), reboot back into the install USB
• Run the desired command

Usable on:

• High Seierra
• Mojave
• Catalina
• Big Sur
• Monterey
• Ventura (partial)

Ventura workaround is in progress. Currently only the commands that require a chroot are affected, which are the MacBook Battery Cycle Count and MacBook Battery Condition commands

Building from Source

1. Don't.

2. Install go and run go build main.go from the root repo directory.

   or

3. Run the build.sh script. I haven't looked at it in ages, it might be a shambles.
