Lenovo Engine Link Grabber

Description

Given a user list of Intel ME/TXE-related Lenovo update download links, this script automatically checks if any new versions of those updates/packages have been uploaded to Lenovo's download site since last run. This works because Lenovo's versioning is usually consecutive/linear so the new update links can be guessed and retrieved automatically, sometimes even a bit before they appear on the official support page for a given model. For example: 5xme25ww.exe is followed by 5xme26ww.exe, 5xme27ww.exe etc. The script saves all newer (since last run) Intel ME/TXE-related download links into a text file. It ignores false positives, removes duplicate links, sorts them in alphabetical order for easy comparison afterwards and automatically updates the DB with the last found version of a given update/package.

Usage

The DB (i.e. Lenovo_ME_Grab.txt file) consists of all currently known (user-provided) Intel ME/TXE-related Lenovo update download links.

MSI LiveUpdate BIOS Grabber

Description

Parses MSI LiveUpdate BIOS update catalogs and saves all newer (since last run) download links into a text file. It removes any catalog formatting, ignores false positives, removes duplicate links and sorts them in alphabetical order for easy comparison afterwards.

Usage

The DB (i.e. MSI_BIOS_Grab.txt file) consists of all MSI LiveUpdate BIOS update catalog download links which have been gathered so far across all runs. Note that some of them may not work (e.g. 404), which is probably due to MSI mistakes/typos.
