PyRIC (is a Linux only) library providing wireless developers and
|
|
pentesters the ability to identify, enumerate and manipulate their
|
|
system's wireless cards programmatically in Python. Pentesting
|
|
applications and scripts written in Python have increased dramatically
|
|
in recent years. However, these tools still rely on Linux command lines
|
|
tools to setup and prepare and restore the system for use. Until now.
|
|
Why use subprocess.Popen, regular expressions and str.find to interact
|
|
with your wireless cards? PyRIC is:
|
|
|
|
* Pythonic: no ctypes, SWIG etc. PyRIC redefines C header files as
|
|
Python and uses sockets to communicate with the kernel.
|
|
|
|
* Self-sufficient: No third-party files used. PyRIC is completely
|
|
self-contained.
|
|
|
|
* Fast: (relatively speaking) PyRIC is faster than using command line
|
|
tools through subprocess.Popen
|
|
|
|
* Parseless: Get the output you want without parsing output from
|
|
command line tools. Never worry about newer iw versions and having
|
|
to rewrite your parsers.
|
|
|
|
* Easy: If you can use iw, you can use PyRIC.
|
|
|
|
At its heart, PyRIC is a Python port of (a subset of) iw and by
|
|
extension, a Python port of Netlink w.r.t nl80211 functionality. The
|
|
original goal of PyRIC was to provide a simple interface to the
|
|
underlying nl80211 kernel support, handling the complex operations of
|
|
Netlink seamlessly while maintaining a minimum of "code walking" to
|
|
understand, modify and extend. But, why stop there? Since its initial
|
|
inception, PyRIC has grown. PyRIC puts iw, ifconfig, rfkill, udevadm,
|
|
airmon-ng and macchanger in your hands (or your program).
