# ME cleaner
A cleaner for Intel ME/TXE images.
This tools removes any unnecessary partition from an Intel ME/TXE firmware, reducing
its size and its ability to interact with the system.
It should work both with coreboot and with the factory firmware.
Currently this tool:
* Scans the FPT (partition table) and checks that everything is correct
* Removes any partition entry (except for FTPR) from FPT
* Removes any partition except for the fundamental one (FTPR)
* Removes the EFFS presence flag
* Corrects the FPT checksum
* Removes any non-essential LZMA or Huffman compressed module (pre-Skylake only)
* Checks the validity of the RSA signature of the FTPR partition
Don't forget to power cycle your PC after flashing the modified ME/TXE image
(power off and power on, not just reboot).
See the [current status](https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/me_cleaner-status)
or [a more detailed description](https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/How-does-it-work%3F)

Special thanks to Federico Amedeo Izzo for his help during the study of Intel ME.
