## What it is
A Python/Docker-based exploit script that gains a root shell on several Xiaomi routers (4A Gigabit, 4A 100M, 4, 4C, 3Gv2, 4Q, miWifi 3C) via a remote command execution vulnerability. It is primarily used to install OpenWrt firmware on affected devices by enabling telnet and FTP access.

## Use cases
- root my xiaomi 4a gigabit router
- install openwrt on xiaomi mi router 4c
- get root shell access on miwifi 3c
- unlock telnet on xiaomi router firmware
- flash custom firmware on xiaomi 4a 100m
- exploit remote command execution on xiaomi router

## When to choose
- you own a supported Xiaomi router model and firmware version and want to install OpenWrt
- you need root/telnet access to a Xiaomi router for research or customization
- you want a scripted, documented exploit with Docker support for Windows users

## When to avoid
- your router model or firmware version is not in the supported list
- you need a tool that runs natively on Windows without Docker
- your router is in AP mode or lacks internet access and you cannot use version 0.0.1
- you are looking for a general-purpose router security scanner rather than a specific exploit
