Hackable Intel and Lenovo hardware went undetected for 5 years
For unsupported but functional hardware with vulnerable BMCs, it would be helpful to have a toolkit for hardware owners to replace the vulnerable software with OpenBMC, https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc

What do you guys actually script / automate?
OpenBMC has some level of SuperMicro support currently.

Hitting my head against the wall with this server.
OpenBMC? Yes, if someone coded the support and documented it. Most of the work has been on whitebox targets, if you look. But Dell's BMCs are Aspeed units, just like 95% of everything else, so in theory they probably aren't hard to support if anyone sat down to do it.

Finding the kernel source for a embedded device
I have a BMC with almost the same kernel version, probably based on the same distribution : OpenBmc , have a look there see if it matches.

Server BMCs can need to be rebooted every so often
I do development on openbmc (https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc) which is an open source bmc implantation using bitbake, primarily targeted to aspeed, and nuvoton bmc chips.

User experience of a fresh HPE Proliant DL345 server deployment
Few of us can do anything about this pain point in the short term, but in the longer term, OpenBMC distributions are going to supplant vendor-locked BMC firmware just like Linux and BSD supplanted AT&T Unix.

Open Source BMC Solutions
OpenBMC slightly post-dates the reign of the AST2400. There's openbmc/meta-aspeed/conf/machine/include/ast2400.inc, but the explicit targets in https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/tree/master/meta-aspeed/conf/machine are the 2500 and 2600.
In doing some additional research, I've come across some open-source BMC solutions. MegaRAC Open Edition and OpenBMC. I am wondering if this is a viable path to correct the bug I have. I tried to find some sort of compatibility indication for the AST2400, but couldn't find anything.

newbie / stupid question maybe (i'm ops) - motherboard swap on server in data center rack
OpenBMC supports many of the SuperMicro BMCs.

Options for replacing BMC firmware with open source alternative?
For that specific board, it asrock says it has an ASPEED 2400. Openbmc exists and might work on the 2400 as per https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/3676. The aspeed 2500 is supported and is seems like the 2400 may also work based on a few google hits, but you're going to need to research and compile yourself.

Dell and HPE switches come with 'American Megatrands' stickers
Is there evidence of it not happening? Can I do a reproducible build of a verified AMI BMC firmware and compare it against what comes flashed on my motherboard? They have a "MegaRAC Open Edition" but it says it's only for "OCP compliant platforms": https://github.com/opencomputeproject/HWMgmt-MegaRAC-OpenEdi...
What are some alternatives?
When comparing openbmc and OCP-HM-MegaRAC_Community_Edition you can also consider the following projects:
kvm-cli - Commandline interface to start IPMI/OOB KVM interfaces
HWMgmt-MegaRAC-OpenEdi
netboot.xyz - Your favorite operating systems in one place. A network-based bootable operating system installer based on iPXE.
u-bmc - Open-source firmware for your baseboard management controller (BMC)
ipmi_firmware_tools - IPMI analysis tools
LiME - LiME (formerly DMD) is a Loadable Kernel Module (LKM), which allows the acquisition of volatile memory from Linux and Linux-based devices, such as those powered by Android. The tool supports acquiring memory either to the file system of the device or over the network. LiME is unique in that it is the first tool that allows full memory captures from Android devices. It also minimizes its interaction between user and kernel space processes during acquisition, which allows it to produce memory captures that are more forensically sound than those of other tools designed for Linux memory acquisition.
