Summary | 0003997: rtfm.py | ||||
Description | Aloha there, I would like to request a tool to be included within Kali, named RTFM its a simple 'cheatsheet' program which aimed to expand on man pages / inbuilt helps, acting as a simple central tool reference. Available from github: Prebuilt Deb: Documentation available on the git, and on my website here: The program grabs its updates from GIT, and is wrote and maintained by myself. Currently GPL3 licence. Is the tool useful/functional in a Penetration Testing environment?
Does the tool overlap functionality of other existing tools?
Does the licensing of the tool allow for free redistribution?
How much resources does the tool require? Will it work in a “standard” environment?
Main area of dev is the DB content at the moment. (Side non related Q, Product version for the tracker doesn't have 2017.1, that expected?) | ||||
Additional Information | Installation in a 'Basic' kali 2017.1 : root@kali:~# dpkg -i rtfm_0.96-RC1_all.deb root@kali:~# rtfm.py -c rtfm Comment : Helpception, search for a command with two tags and a comment https://github.com/leostat/rtfm | ||||
Updated the program and the deb to 0.98, it now has version checking and errata to fix the typos which work their way into the DB (My bad!) |
|
To help speed up the process of evaluating the tool, please make sure to include the following information (the more information you include, the more beneficial it will for us):

Apologies for the slow response, I will try to include all the needed info!
There is also a write up online at
Its a collection of useful 'Stuff', think man pages but focusing on the common uses of commands, with links to where more information can be found about it. It uses a local sqlite database to hold tags / references / commands and allows a user to search them, think a little scratchpad of quick commands or lists of things like XSS strings. The user is able to add to this easily, and thats kind of it!
The user can install terminal tables for a nicer looking output
Check the source to make sure im not a back door :DCreate a database and Download updates./rtfm/rtfm.py -u Look for some xss strings./rtfm/rtfm.py -e xss -pc Look for commands marked as a shell./rtfm.py -r shell |

This program looks like it hasn't recently received any updates. |
