Root-Me Badge Generator

Description

Root-Me Badge Generator is a Python 3 script that generates badges from Root-me profiles.

The original idea came from Podalirius on the Root-Me forums (https://www.root-me.org/?page=forum&id_thread=12859)

Example badges:

Features

The script can generate badges with differents themes, I might add more of these over time.

Requirements

In order to run the script, you will need at least Python 3.6, and the following modules:

Requests (To make requests to the Root-Me website)
Pillow (This is the imaging library that I used to generate the badge)

To install them, simply run this command in your terminal:

On Linux:

python3 -m pip install requests pillow

On Windows:

pip3 install requests pillow

Usage

To generate a badge, a few options are available, but to try the default you can simply use this command and replace <username> with your Root-Me username:

On Linux:

python3 generate.py <username>

On Windows:

python generate.py <username>

To know which options are possible, use the flag --help, for example you can add --theme dark to use a dark theme for your badge.

Here's the script help: python generate.py --help

usage: generate.py [-h] [--theme name] [--outfile filepath] [--show]
                   [--viewer command] [--dont-save]
                   username
