Python package with basic utilities for CTF scripts (works well for exploit PoCs too).
pip install elementals
https://elementals.readthedocs.io/
The elementals python package is a utility package with handy tools for CTF scripts and PoC-style scripts. What was first implemented for personal use in small research scripts was now upgraded to be used by security researchers as a lightweight substitute to the famous pwntools package.
The features included in elementals are:
- Logger: Basic (logging based) logger - configured and ready to use
- Prompter: Metasploit based stdout wrapper for the logger
- ProgressBar: User-friendly graphical progress bar
- StatusBar: User-friendly graphical status bar
- createAnchor: Creates a time-stamped output directory for all script outputs
- hexDump: Stylized hex dump for binary blobs / strings
Here is a screenshot from an example script with most of the features:
And here is the log that is stored behind the scenes:
Example of the hexDump()'s output:
The elementals package is used in most of my scripts and also in my public Github projects:
