Control Things Serial
ctserial goal is to become the security professional's Swiss army knife for interacting with raw serial devices
Installation:
As long as you have git and Python 3.5 or later installed, all you should need to do is:
git clone https://github.com/ControlThingsTools/ctserial.git
cd ctserial
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Usage:
First, start the tool from a terminal. Then connect to your serial device and interact with it. For example:
ctmodbus> connect /dev/your-serial-device
ctmodbus> sendhex deadc0de (sends actual hex, so 4 bytes)
ctmodbus> sendhex \xde \xad c0de (sends same hex as before, ignoring spaces and \x)
ctmondus> send Dead Code 国 (sends full utf-8 string without spaces)
ctmodbus> send "Dead Code 国" (Use quotes if you need spaces)
ctmodbus> exit
Platform Independence
Python 3.5+ and all dependencies are available for all major operating systems. It is primarily developed on MacOS and Linux, but should work in Windows as well.
