-~~~~~ checkm8_tool ~~~~~
-
-This is the code for the optimized version of checkm8 that I wrote as a part of
-this project. It consists of a variety of modules and was built to run on
-Linux. It will probably not work on Windows or MacOS, although a port could
-definitely be possible in the future.
-
-	checkm8_remote: the main executable generated by the project. It
-			includes various functionality for communicating with
-			and exploiting a device (currently, only iPhones with
-			an A10 chip are supported), including payload transfer
-			and execution. The main program is located in the
-			checkm8_remote/main.c file. It is currently configured
-			to install and run a basic AES payload. 
-
-	checkm8_libusb: a userspace library for communicating with USB devices.
-			Currently this is unmodified from the standard release
-			of libusb1.0, but in future versions there will be 
-			modifications to enable custom USB behavior.
-
-	checkm8_payloads: the custom payload functionality is defined in this
-			  directory. To compile payloads, you need the 
-			  aarch64-linux-gnu toolchain to cross-compile binaries
-			  for the iPhone platform.
-
-~~~~~ Building ~~~~~
-
-This project uses cmake as its build system. To build, simply do the following
-commands in the project's root directory
-
-	mkdir build
-	cd build
-	cmake ..
-	make
-
-~~~~~ Usage ~~~~~~
-
-To run the checkm8-remote binary, simply run
-
-	./build/checkm8_remote/checkm8_remote
-
-without any flags. Functionality is currently hardcoded to the AES payload, but
-will be made more configurable in the future. Make sure that the target device
-is in DFU mode before running the program.
