Description : Python library for Linux wireless device control
PyRIC is a Python library designed for wireless developers and penetration
testers, providing the ability to programmatically identify, enumerate, and
manipulate wireless network cards in Linux. It simplifies interactions with
wireless hardware, eliminating the need for command-line tools and complex
parsing operations.
.
PyRIC functions as a Python port of tools like iw and incorporates aspects
of Netlink with respect to nl80211 functionality. It facilitates direct
communication with the kernel using sockets, bypassing traditional
command-line utilities for managing wireless interfaces. This library is
especially useful for automating wireless network setups and teardowns,
supporting a variety of network manipulations such as changing MAC
addresses, managing IP settings, and toggling device states.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
