Specter

Overview

Specter is a shell utility designed to add an element of unpredictability to command line operations. By introducing random delays, simulating errors, or executing commands normally.

Features

  • Random Delays: Injects random delays before command execution, simulating real-world latency or high system load.
  • Simulated Errors: Occasionally produces fake error messages, requiring users to discern between actual and simulated command line issues.
  • Transparent Execution: Executes commands without interference, allowing for a seamless blend of real and altered command outcomes.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • Bash shell environment
  • Administrative or sudo privileges for installation

Installation

  1. Clone the Repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/specter.git
  2. Navigate to the script directory: 
    cd specter
  3. Prepare the script for execution: 
    chmod +x ghostcommands.py

Configuration

To integrate Specter into your command line workflow, follow these steps to set up the Python script handler and command aliases in your shell configuration:

Modify .bashrc: Open your .bashrc file in a text editor:

nano ~/.bashrc

Insert the Command Handler Function:

Append the following function to your .bashrc, adjusting the path to where ghostcommands.py is located:

function cmd() {
    python3 /path/to/specter/ghostcommands.py "$@"
}
alias sudo='sudo '  # Makes sure aliases work with sudo

Establish Aliases for Frequent Commands: Create aliases to redirect command execution through Specter:

alias ls='cmd ls'
alias cat='cmd cat'
alias grep='cmd grep'
# Additional aliases can be set as needed
