v2025.11.30

First Release

Features

• Can replace the NBFC ec-probe tool and associated WinRing0x64.sys. Fixing the security risk of exploitation.
• ⚡ Much Much faster than ec-probe. Single register reads are near instantaneous.
• Uses PawnIO driver and LpcACPIEC. module to query EC Register.
• Read Only by design for safety. Generous backoffs, wait times and mutex added to prevent hammering EC register and blocking critical system process from accessing it.
• Likely the first stand alone EC register reader tool available based on PawnIO. At least i couldn't find any and wrote this myself. Excuse my ignorance if something better exists.

‼️ CAUTION

• Claude Code / Sonnet - 4.5 assisted development. Author is not a C++ or embedded system dev. Use at your own risk.
• Do not run multiple instances. Do not run during BIOS updates. Easy to forget if running in background.

I have tried to make tool as safe as possible, but nothing is guaranteed with my limited skills.
