         ⚡ Valentin Stars (vstbio.t.me) ⚡
  • Cleaner Installer: Removed duplicate header banners and removed third-party credits (osm0sis) from update-binary.
  • System Model Branding: Added hakirfon device model spoofing via Magisk module.

2. 🌐 Networking, BBR & Packet Injection Enhancements

  • TTL / HL Mangling Enabled (CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL=y, CONFIG_IP6_NF_TARGET_HL=y): Full tethering restriction bypass for mobile carriers directly from Android.
  • Google BBR TCP Congestion Control (CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BBR=y, CONFIG_DEFAULT_BBR=y): BBR enabled as the default TCP algorithm for maximum throughput and ultra-low latency in WireGuard tunnels.
  • Promiscuous Mode & Raw Packet Sniffing: Enhanced packet socket subsystem (CONFIG_PACKET=y, CONFIG_NET_RAW=y, CONFIG_IFB=y) for Wireshark, Tshark, and Tcpdump.
  • NFQUEUE Raw Filtering (CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE=y): Intercept and alter traffic in userspace using Bettercap, Mitmproxy, and Scapy.

3. 🔌 Hardware Hacking, BadUSB & Power Management

  • USB OTG Power Switcher (vst-otg): New CLI tool to toggle Type-C power output on the fly:
    • vst-otg 900 — Eco mode (default).
    • vst-otg 1500 — 1.5A high-current mode for dual-antenna Alfa AWUS036ACH / HackRF One.
    • vst-otg 2000 — 2.0A maximum current output.

4. ⚡ Memory, Filesystem & Anti-Knox Tuning
