# How to build CoreMod

## Requirements

_Mandatory_ :

* Linux x86_64 3.x or 4.x

* The GNU Compiler Collection: gcc - or - The C language family frontend for LLVM: clang

* Being root !

* Any Intel Core, i7, i5, i3 Processor

_Optionally_ :

* The GNU Debugger: gdb and one graphical front-end for gdb: ddd

* [The Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual Volume 3](http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html)

* [The SMBIOS Reference Specification](http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios) (C) Distributed Management Task Force

## Compilation

Clone or download the source code then build the binary with ```make``` 

```

$ make

Compiling : Done.

Linking   : Done.

Ready     : ./bin/coremod

Remark    : You must be root to run CoreMod

```

## Debug

* Compile sources with the -g switch, or set it in the Makefile's CFLAGS

* Run the debugger GUI

```

# ddd ./bin/coremod

```

# How to use CoreMod

Two kernel modules must be loaded with modprobe or insmod

* msr

* dmi-sysfs

then execute CoreMod as root

```

# ./coremod

```
