Add support for API

[tawmoto]

Hi,

The tool is great, but seems no way to use it via python API, except running it in the console.
Is there a API to use via python?

Thanks

HI @tawmoto

Since checksec is also a package you can import it and explore it's API.

An example:

In [1]: import checksec

In [2]: help(checksec)


In [3]: from checksec.elf import ELFSecurity

In [4]: elf = ELFSecurity("/bin/ls")

In [5]: elf.fortified
Out[5]: 
frozenset({'__fprintf_chk',
           '__mbstowcs_chk',
           '__memcpy_chk',
           '__mempcpy_chk',
           '__printf_chk',
           '__readlink_chk',
           '__snprintf_chk',
           '__sprintf_chk',
           '__strcpy_chk'})

In [6]: elf.has_nx
Out[6]: True
