PyRIC 0.1.6.3: Python Radio Interface Controller

Linux wireless library for the Python Wireless Developer and Pentester

DESCRIPTION:

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 for setup/preparation and restoration of 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.

CURRENT STATE

ATT, PyRIC pyw provides the following:

enumerate interfaces and wireless interfaces
identify a cards chipset and driver
get/set hardware address
get/set ip4 address, netmask and or broadcast
turn card on/off
get supported standards
get supported commands
get supported modes
get dev info
get phy info
get link info
get/set regulatory domain
get/set mode
get/set coverage class, RTS threshold, Fragmentation threshold & retry limits
add/delete interfaces
enumerate ISM and UNII channels
block/unblock rfkill devices
check 'connectivity', disconnect from AP

In utils, several helpers can be found that can be used to:

enumerate channels and frequencies and convert between the two
manipulate mac addresses and generate random ones
fetch and parse the IEEE oui text file
further rfkill operations to include listing all rfkill devices

At it's 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 seamlessy while maintaining a minimum
of "code walking" to understand, modify and extend. But, why stop there? Since
it's initial inception, PyRIC has grown. PyRIC puts iw, ifconfig, rfkill, udevadm,
airmon-ng and macchanger in your hands (or your program).
