Package: python3-pyric (0.1.6.4+git20170421.0562b17-1)

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.
