# intel_ma

> intel_ma inspects PC management firmware in ME/TXE/CSME region images and full SPI dumps. Its Rust library and CLI parse partition tables, AMD PSP directories, UEFI firmware volumes and FIT records, and report Boot Guard, BIOS Guard and descriptor locks. It can also remove selected Intel ME components and set documented disable flags in an output image.
