💖 SCRIPTOR(1p) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to scriptor — the lil Perl baddie that sends commands to a smart card 💳✨ (yes, it's a 1p page, that's the manual section, we love a specific queen)

✨ NAME ✨

scriptor — a Perl script to send commands to a smart card 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

scriptor [-h] [-r reader] [-p protocol] [-u] [file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this manual page documents, like, briefly, the scriptor command. Short and sweet, no yapping. 🎀

scriptor is a program that sends commands to a smart card using a batch file or stdin. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It reads your commands, it fires them at the card, main character energy only. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

A description of options is included below. (yes, that's literally what the manpage says, I'm not gonna gatekeep it from you 🫶)

• -h — show a summary of options. Your lil help menu, your safe space. 🧚
• -r reader — use the indicated reader. By default the first PC/SC reader is used. no reader picked? it just grabs the first one, lowkey convenient. ✨
• -p protocol — use the indicated protocol. accepted values are T=0 and T=1. by default T=0 is used. so if you don't say anything, it's T=0 era. 🎀
• -u — use unbuffered stdout. for when you need that output immediately, no waiting, no buffering, instant gratification fr fr. 🔥
• file — use the file instead of stdin to read commands (APDUs). you can hand it a file OR pipe stuff in, your call bestie. 💜

The commands are of the form:

 CLA INS P1 P2 Lc [data] [le]
 reset
 # comment

not me showing you the whole format because I want you to actually win 💀 it's giving "learn the grammar or perish"

Example:

 # reset the card
 reset

 # Select MF 3F00
 A0 A4 00 00 02 3F 00

 # Get Response
 # 17 is the value of second SW from the previous command
 A0 C0 00 00 17

 # Select DF Telecom (7F10)
 A0 A4 00 00 02 7F 10

 # Get Response
 A0 C0 00 00 17

 # Select EF_ADN (6F3A) (Abbreviated Dialing Numbers)
 A0 A4 00 00 02 6F 3A

 # Get Response
 A0 C0 00 00 0F
