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 3.6 or later installed, all you should need to do is:

pip3 install ctserial

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 3.6+ 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.
