Ok I think you can lend a hand to the community in this issue by making a good contract ;-)
We appreciate your work and we know it's not easy. For me, it's easier to learn how to crack any BIOS using

Please, we are not $un or M$. Ossama has sacificed his holiday to support Duali. When is your next holiday Ossama? ;-)
