✨ NAME ✨

mstprivhost — privilege modification tool 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the usage vibe is literally this, and im gonna give it to u verbatim because ur worth it:

usage: mstprivhost [-h] [-v] --device DEVICE [--disable_rshim]
       [--disable_tracer] [--disable_counter_rd] [--disable_port_owner]
       {r,restrict,p,privilege}

so it restricts or privileges a host. and here's the tea u need to know:

Note: New configurations takes effect immediately. ⚡

Note: privileged host — host has all supported privileges. 💖

and then, the other side of the coin:

restricted host — host is not allowed to modify global per port/parameters or access other hosts parametersis. 🚫 (yes that sentence is exactly how the original reads, i am simply the messenger 🫡)

🦋 optional arguments:

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. ur little tour guide bestie ✨
• -v, --version — show program's version number and exit. the "who even am i" button 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --device DEVICE, -d DEVICE — Device to work with. tell it which one, it's not a mind reader fr fr 🔍

🌈 Commands:

here's ur menu of commands, pick one, no pressure:

{r,restrict,p,privilege}

• restrict — Set host 1 (ARM) privileged, host 0 (x86_64) restricted. so ARM gets the aux cord and x86_64 is in its flop era 💀
