Protocol serial number

[ITTTJ]

Shredos is an excellent program that suits me perfectly with one small thing missing. I often come into contact with Dell computers. Is there any way to ensure that the serial number of the device (called Service Tag in Dell) in which the disk is plugged into is also written to the resulting erasure protocol?

That's great, glad it's useful.

The Dell service tag is written to the /nwipe_log.. file as baseboard-serial-number, system-serial-number and chassis-serial-number. At least it is on this Dell Optiplex 9010 I'm testing on.

The Dell express service tag doesn't appear to be recorded in the DMI/SMBIOS table, at least in regards to the data that dmidecode generates. I don't know what the relevance of the Dell express service tag is as opposed to the Dell service tag?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'written to resulting erasure protocol', do you mean you want it written to nwipe's GUI or to the PDF certificate/report.

Sorry, I misspoke, I meant for the information to be written to the PDF certificate. Would it be possible to write the baseboard-serial-number, system-serial-number and chassis-serial-number to the certificate? The express service tag is not that important, I can do without it.

Yes, that could be added. Because there will be some that don't want that information on the report it would need to be enabled in the config so it can be switched on/off depending on your preference.
