pwncat-cs

2 min read

installation:

  • the script below sets up pwncat-cs for use inside the project folder you’ll be working inside. pwncat-cs relies on an older python version, so its sets up the environment so that it automatically switches to that python version upon entering the project folder, making pwncat-cs usable. so yeah, get inside a project folder first
nano install_pwncat_cs.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e
