SICK - Server Info & Check Kit
For years we’ve all relied on yabs (https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script
) — a fantastic VPS benchmarking project — to quickly understand what a VPS can do. But when it comes to dedicated servers, things get a bit trickier.
When I work with physical servers, I constantly need to check hardware details: CPU model, PCI devices, memory configuration, disk controller, network cards… you name it.
That usually means running a bunch of different commands manually — and honestly, it gets annoying fast.
So I built a new project to solve this problem. May be can help you.
SICK — Server Information Collector Kit
GitHub: https://github.com/Yuri-NagaSaki/SICK
SICK is a lightweight, no-nonsense tool designed to quickly collect detailed hardware information from physical servers with a single command.
Think of it as “yabs but for dedicated servers and hardware nerds.”
If you own, rent, or colocate bare-metal machines — this will save you time.

So it won't work on a VPS?
Thanks I will add this as benchmark ^^
Great, starred
It does work, just the info is less, might not add if i think about it
You're right — on most VPS environments SICK won't provide much value.
Many VPS platforms simply do not expose underlying host hardware (CPU topology, physical disks, real NICs, motherboard/BIOS info, PCI devices, etc.).
In those cases the script can only show the virtualized layer, which isn’t very helpful.
The purpose of SICK is specifically to collect hardware information from real servers — CPU, memory, PCI devices, disks, controllers, NICs, motherboard details, etc.
Thanks.
Been looking for a script, which can just nicely display the system info like bench/nench or YABS, but without running network tests and Geekbench.
