Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic manager apparatuses, and systems that assist with detecting changes to a firmware software components, and configuration parameters includes obtaining an executable file comprising a basic input-output system firmware and software component data of a hardware component at run-time. A hash value for the obtained executable file at the run-time is identified. The identified hash value is compared with a stored hash value associated with the obtained executable file to determine when the obtained executable file is unmodified, wherein the stored hash value was determined at a build time of the hardware component. The obtained executable file of the hardware component is executed when the obtained executable file is determined to be unmodified.
