# The main purpose of this script is to enable netmode4 on Xiaomi RB01 routers.
# To do this the script poses as a mesh slave, which causes the mesh master to enable netmode4.
# It does this by blindly sending HEX strings captured from an actual mesh negotiation between
# two RB01 routers.
# Enabling netmode is needed as one step in unlocking the router and flashing OpenWrt.
# The router should already have been taken through basic set-up before running this script.

# Netmode4 can be confirmed with curl by requesting the following URL, where ${token} is the "stok"
