- Scriptim supports:
- readline command-line edition capabilities: in-place command edition, bash-like history (~/.scriptim_history file)
- automatic detection and display of ascii data, with an error probability of less than 1%.
- shortcuts for hexadecimal commands
- error detection in return values
- Scriptim does not support yet:
- extensive return value interpretation
- manual protocol selection
- Scriptim additionnally targets to:
- support automated authentication
to run scriptim, you'll need: python (works at least under 2.6 and 2.7), pcsc_lite, pyscard and ccid
and scriptim_utils.py
- Go to the touchatag website, create an account there, download & extract the archive for mac http://www.touchatag.com/downloads
- You'll have driver.dmg, install and restart computer
- install touchatag.dmg, also present. Launch app, and wait for it's connection to the server.
- Install pyscard from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyscard/
- Download scriptim https://github.com/bernardpaulus/scriptim
You can obtain the required programs on debian by typing this: sudo aptitude install pcsc-tools python-pyscard libccid
the latest version of scriptim can be found at https://github.com/bernardpaulus/scriptim
Just type ./scriptim.py or python scriptim.py use option -h or --help for help about running
There are two kinds of commands:
- normal commands : commands that will be sent to the card reader
- scriptim control commands: commands used to change the current card reader, exit, ...
Commands can include "#" comments and backslash-continuation of commands
Canonical normal commands are composed of bytes in hexadecimal notation. That is groups of 2 hexadecimal characters.
Example:
FF 00 48 00 00 , FF 00 40 50 04 05 05 03 01
Scriptim, however, admits some shortcuts:
you may write groups that begin by '0' only by writing their low-order hex Example:
FF 0 48 0 0 FF 0 40 50 4 5 5 3 1you may collate any number of groups together, on the condition that they are not shortcuts of a high-order '0', like above Example:
FF00 480000 FF0040500405050301
scriptim currently admits 2 types of commands:
- exit commands: exit, quit, EOF (<CTRL+D>) those commands cause scriptim to exit immediately, regardless of being part of a backslash-continued command
- connection commands: reset, changereader both cause the connection to be renewed. changereader allows the selection of a different reader, or even no reader
Comments are marked by '#'. That mark, and everything that follows will be ignored
Backslash-continued commands. If a backslash '' is the last character on that line, excluding comments, the next command is the continuation of the current command, last backslash removed.
Example:
FF 00 48\# beginning of the command 00 00 # end of the command
is equivalent to:
FF 00 48 00 00
On debian, sometimes pcsc will cause syslog to print a small message. tail /var/log/syslog
shows messages like:
pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:663:clean_temp_files() Cannot remove ...
This is due to a bug of pcsc_lite that has been fixed in the svn, but not yet packaged.
