For Developers

As you can see each checmaster rule, in the example configuration json file, have a python package and a function name like checkmaster.sockets.ingoing_port where checkmaster.sockets is the python package and the function is ingoing_port.

This means that you can load and use your own package.function in checkmaster without any changes in the code!

Compiling it for Windows

sudo apt install wine
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.6/python-3.7.6-amd64.exe
wine msiexec /i python-3.7.6-amd64.exe /qb

wine /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/Python/Python37/Scripts/pip install checkmaster pyinstaller
wine /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/Python/Python37/Scripts/pyinstaller \
 -F --clean \
 --hidden-import checkmaster.filesystems \
 --hidden-import checkmaster.distribution \
 --hidden-import checkmaster.hardware \
 --hidden-import checkmaster.sockets \
 --hidden-import checkmaster.commands \
 --paths /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/Python/Python37/site-packages /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Programs/Python/Python37/Scripts/checkmaster

Unfortunately VirtusTotal have false positive with the previous compilation, so

pip uninstall pyinstaller

Then download and install VS Cpp Community Edition. Download pyInstaller package and unzip it in C:\Pyinstaller

then

cd C:\Pyinstaller\bootloader
python ./waf all --target-arch=64bit

set PYPATH="c:\users\utente\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\roaming\python\python39"

pyinstaller -F --hidden-import checkmaster.filesystems --hidden-import checkmaster.distribution --hidden-import checkmaster.hardware --hidden-import checkmaster.sockets --hidden-import checkmaster.commands --paths $PYPATH\site-packages $PYPATH\\Scripts\checkmaster

if you still have false positive from virus total consider to notify your checkmaster.exe to antivirus vendors!
