======== Hackersh

Hackersh <http://www.hackersh.org>_ ("Hacker Shell") is a shell (command interpreter) written in Python with Pythonect-like syntax, builtin security commands, and out of the box wrappers for various security tools.

Hello, world

Here is the canonical "Hello, world" example program in Hackersh::

"http://localhost" -> url -> nmap -> w3af

Wait, what? This is a a compacted but 100% complete implementation of a black-box web application vulnerability scanner

Installation

There are a few ways to install Hackersh.

  1. You can install directly from PyPI_ using easy_install or pip_::

     easy_install hackersh
    

    or::

     pip install hackersh
    
  2. You can clone the git repository somewhere in your system::

     git clone git://github.com/ikotler/hackersh.git
    

    Then you should do following steps::

     cd hackersh
     python setup.py install
    

    Alternatively, if you use pip_, you can install directly from the git repository::

     pip install \
     	git+git://github.com/ikotler/hackersh.git@master#egg=Hackersh \
     -r https://github.com/ikotler/hackersh/raw/master/doc/requirements.txt
