Conflict

The two copies share the same core firmware analysis workflow (identification, extraction, filesystem analysis, binary analysis, vulnerability classes, and tool lists), but the sickn33 copy adds a mandatory authorization gate, a risk label, and explicit handling for missing supporting scripts (getArch.sh, makeImage.sh, inferNetwork.sh) that the rmyndharis copy lacks. The rmyndharis copy includes a more complete emulation setup section that the sickn33 copy truncates. Because each copy contains material steps or constraints the other lacks, crowning one would hide a real alternative.
