## What it is
A shell-based tool that generates valid macOS serial numbers, UUIDs, and board serials for use with OpenCore, OSX-KVM, and Docker-OSX. It is intended for good-faith security research into Apple's iMessage and FaceTime frameworks under Apple's Security Bounty program.

## Use cases
- generate valid macOS serial numbers for a hackintosh build
- create unique SMBIOS serials for Docker-OSX virtual machines
- produce board serials and UUIDs for OpenCore config.plist
- automate serial generation at runtime for OSX-KVM
- research iMessage and FaceTime vulnerabilities with valid serials

## When to choose
- you need valid macOS serials for OpenCore, OSX-KVM, or Docker-OSX setups
- you want to automate unique serial generation at VM runtime
- you are conducting Apple security bounty research on iMessage or FaceTime

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI tool for hackintosh configuration
- you want to spoof serials of real Apple devices for illegitimate purposes
- you are not working with macOS virtualization or hackintosh hardware
