The faradayio module provides a TUN/TAP interface which tunnels network traffic in SLIP format over a serial port. This was originally designed for the Faraday radio but the software is radio agnostic. By default this module helps create a TUN/TAP adapter on the 10.0.0.0 network and a simple command line program is also provided to automatically setup a network adapter for a Faraday radio.
Installation is simple. If you are just installing to use with a radio then the pypi installation is all you need. However, if you are looking to develop code then you should install from a GitHub repository clone in editable mode. Please note we suggest installing with a virtual environment in all cases!
To install faradayio simply install with pip3
pip3 install faradayio
To install faradayio from a git repository in editable mode simple checkout from GitHub and use pip3 to install in editable mode.
$ git clone git@github.com:FaradayRF/faradayio.git
$ cd faradayio
$ pip3 install -e .
Placeholder for command line program completion. This should also have some module use examples as well but that will wait until this module is actually used to create a working program.
Please use our faradayio wiki to find helpful tips on installation, setting up a development environment, and running unit tests.
