IPython command shell for pwntools? about pwntools HOT 3 CLOSED

I use ipython pretty extensively while using pwntools. Outside of pretty-printing (which I've added commits for for the ELF and ROP cases), what specific features would you like to see added?

The exploit dev cycle is generally more "run the script" than interactive after a point, so my use-case is ipython -i exploit.py to allow me to interact with the script after it exits. What's your use-case?

oh, mostly it's just setting up the local namespace with shortcuts and adding an 'auto-quoter' for those shortcuts... also having an 'active object' where operations are applied to that object. Nothing super fancy but it comes in handy. In the video above you can see that I use shortcuts like 'view' instead workbench.work_request('view', md5). I mostly suggested the embedded IPython shell as a way to contribute to a kewl project. Feel free to close this issue. :)

I am not enought of a IPython poweruser to know what would be nice to have, or even if we want something like that.

I most just have this line in my ipython_config.py

c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = [ 'from pwn import *', 'import pwn', 'import z3', ]

You are welcome to look at what would be nice and as long as it will not introduce large amounts of bloat, we would likely accept it! :)
