PSDecode

PowerShell based module that can decode System Errors, Exit codes, port numbers, HTTP Statuses and more. This module can be used to quick lookup Error descriptions, to add verbosity to your custom error messages and for a better Error Handling, Investigation and Analysis. Read more on my blog about this module and how I web scraped the error code data.

Technically the module offers a set of cmdlets that query a database of Error/Exit codes, port numbers, and MAC addresses which totals to 83049 individual records as of now when I’m writing this.

Type	Range	Count	Comments
System Errors	0-15999	2764	Windows System Errors and Exit Codes
Internet Errors	12000-12175	114	Subset of System Errors
Port Numbers	0-65535	56506	Registered and Unregistered ports
HTTP Status Codes	100-599	63	Status codes - Informational, Success, Redirection, Client/Server Error
MAC Vendor Codes	N/A	23602	16754 Manufacturers mapped to 23602 MAC Vendor bits

Use-Case

• Decode Exit Codes and Windows System errors

• Identify MAC vendors for Network related troubleshooting

• Adds verbosity to you HTTP requests
