+# icarus
+This tool allows us to unenroll devices with device management interception with a proxy and a Certificate Authority
+
+## New configs what does this mean
+These new configs have rolled keys. We are testing the compatibility of these new keys for interception
+
+## Setup and installation instructions
+Set up the environment by running the following commands. Make sure to have python3 and python3-venv installed
+- `make setup-venv`
+- `make enter-venv`
+- `make setup-python`
+- `make build-packed-data`
+- `bash get_original_data.sh`
+- `bash make_out.sh myCA.der`
+
+After doing this the output directory will be generated. The output directory that is generated will be used in the shim.
+- `bash modify.sh <shim path>`
+- Now boot your shim.
+- In the terminal of the shim, run `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/stateful_partition`
+- `bash /mnt/stateful_partition/usr/bin/inshim.sh`
+
+## Server setup (Only for people hosting servers)
+run `make setup-server  `
