Input parameters (request.params) about canari

[catalyst256]

Hello,

Canari allows you to use something called multenterbox which will pop up when you run a transform and allow the user to specify fields that can then be used in your transform. This is a code snippet from one of my transforms.

from canari.easygui import multenterbox

msg = 'Enter Search Criteria'
title = 'L0 - Simple pcap search [SmP]'
fieldNames = ["Source", "Destination", "Port", "Free Text"]
fieldValues = []
fieldValues = multenterbox(msg, title, fieldNames)

This shows a box with 4 parameter fields which you then reference in your transform like this:

s_ip = fieldValues[0]

The full code is here:

https://github.com/catalyst256/sniffMyPackets/blob/master/src/sniffMyPackets/transforms/pcapsearch.py

Let me know if that helps or not.

Thanks @catalyst256,

But there is also another way which actually passes parameters via the command line if you want. The way to do that is to go into the transform manager in Maltego, select the local transform you want to pass parameters to. Then under 'Command parameters' enter your command line arguments after the transform name. For example, 'my.transforms.transform -P -s blah'. This will populate the request.params field. Although this is supported, it is not necessarily great for transforms that are going to be strictly local. You might want to look at what @catalyst256 is suggesting for UI friendliness :)

Thanks for the quick answer, I've tried the solution of @catalyst256 and I get the next exception:

Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
C:/Ruby193/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/library C:/library C:/tcl8.5.12/library C:/tcl8.5.12/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Do I have to install anything?

ok, the problem was my python version. Thanks a lot @catalyst256, this is exactly that I wanted to do

Cheers
