A guide helping you install PRET on Termux.
When installing PRET on Termux I faced some problems and it didn't go as smooth as I though it 'd go, as there wasn't a guide avaible I decided to make my own and spare you time trying to figure out how to install PRET on Termux. :D
Requirements: (Will be discussed and installed later in the tutorial.)
- Android Device with Termux.
- A working internet connection.
- Some common sense & brain power.
- Table of conents
- Installing Termux on your device
- Installing Python2 & Git
- Installing colorama & pysnmp
- Downloading PRET with Git
- How to run PRET on Termux?
- Troubleshooting
- Sources, Notes and/or referentions
If you have termux installed already, go ahead and skip this step.
Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required, we will be using Termux to run PRET. Download & install Termux from the playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux or F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/ After having Termux installed open up the app.
Alright, you now have Termux session open and it will look like this:
Type in the following: pkg upgrade Then type in:pkg update
After you've done that install Python 2 (not version 3) by typing: pkg install python2 Then install git by typing: pkg install git
If you've done everything correctly you have now installed python 2 and git.
For colored output and SNMP support we need to install the third party modules colorama and pysnmp which can be done by typing in:
pip2 install colorama pysnmp
Colorama and pysnmp should now be installed, we can now get into the last 2 steps of installing PRET!
Now we've installed Python2, colorama & pysnmp it is time to download PRET, you can do so by typing: git clone https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET PRET should now be ready for use.
Open a Termux session and type in cd PRET, you should now be in the PRET folder. Once you're there type in python2 pret.py this will scan for printers on your local network that have an open port 9100. You can also add the following arguments to the command:
usage: pret.py [-h] [-s] [-q] [-d] [-i file] [-o file] target {ps,pjl,pcl}
positional arguments:
target printer device or hostname
{ps,pjl,pcl} printing language to abuse
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s, --safe verify if language is supported
-q, --quiet suppress warnings and chit-chat
-d, --debug enter debug mode (show traffic)
-i file, --load file load and run commands from file
-o file, --log file log raw data sent to the target
For more information on how to use PRET and the official source you can take a look here: https://github.com/RUB-NDS/PRET
- Make sure you followed all steps listed above and installed the correct dependencies.
- Make sure you type
python2instead ofpythonotherwise pret.py won't run. - If you're still getting an error/shebang try this:
export LD_PRELOAD=${PREFIX}/lib/libtermux-exec.soand then restart the Termux session.
If you expierience any problems you can always make an issue ticket here and I'll get back to you ASAP. https://github.com/Hugo22O/A-Guide-To-Install-PRET-on-Termux/issues
