PyRIC: Linux wireless library for the Python Wireless Developer and Pentester

PyRIC (is a Linux only) library providing wireless developers and pentesters the
ability to identify, enumerate and manipulate their system's wireless cards
programmatically in Python. Pentesting applications and scripts written in Python
have increased dramatically in recent years. However, these tools still rely on
Linux command lines tools to setup and prepare and restore the system for use.
Until now. Why use subprocess.Popen, regular expressions and str.find to interact
with your wireless cards? PyRIC is:

1. Pythonic: no ctypes, SWIG etc. PyRIC redefines C header files as Python and
   uses sockets to communicate with the kernel.
2. Self-sufficient: No third-party files used. PyRIC is completely self-contained.
3. Fast: (relatively speaking) PyRIC is faster than using command line tools
   through subprocess.Popen
4. Parseless: Get the output you want without parsing output from command line
   tools. Never worry about newer iw versions and having to rewrite your parsers.
5. Easy: If you can use iw, you can use PyRIC.

At it's heart, PyRIC is a Python port of (a subset of) iw and by extension, a
Python port of Netlink w.r.t nl80211 functionality. The original goal of PyRIC
was to provide a simple interface to the underlying nl80211 kernel support,
handling the complex operations of Netlink seamlessy while maintaining a minimum
of "code walking" to understand, modify and extend. But, why stop there? Since
it's initial inception, PyRIC has grown. PyRIC puts iw, ifconfig, rfkill,
udevadm, airmon-ng and macchanger.
