The Explainer - Python Version
This sample implements a Python version of the Explainer Protocol.
The Explainer is totally inspired by Natalie Silvanovich’s Hardware Excuse Generator
Generate Protocol Stubs
This generates the explainer_pb2.py protocol implementation.
$ protoc -I ../protocols --python_out=. --grpc_out=. --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_python_plugin` ../protocols/explainer.proto
Install and Tests
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Test Drive - Python Client and Server
I don’t have a python server implementation yet, so using the ruby version Start the server in one console window..
$ cd ../ruby
$ ./explainer.rb
ShiFu is waiting to explain all of your problems...
Now try the python client in another:
$ python explain.py
Here's some help:
Describe your problem in a sentence, using the text "REASON" where-ever you'd like a good excuse inserted
e.g. "Glitching was not a viable attack because of REASON"
$ python explain.py "Your phone is probably crashing because of REASON"
Your phone is probably crashing because of minor ESD damage to coil
$ python explain.py "Your phone is probably crashing because of REASON"
Your phone is probably crashing because of thermal effects in the resistor R3
$ python explain.py "Your phone is probably crashing because of REASON"
Your phone is probably crashing because of internal resistance of the antenna
$ python explain.py "Your phone is probably crashing because of REASON"
Your phone is probably crashing because of residual capacitance caused by the USB connector
$ python explain.py "Your phone is probably crashing because of REASON"
Your phone is probably crashing because of the EEPROM inducing current in the pull-up resistor
