Setting up Pyrit on OSX with CUDA Support

A quick guide on getting pyrit installed and working on OSX with gpu (CUDA) support.

First you need to download and install CUDA drivers and CUDA SDK from nvidia.
Drivers -
http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-3.2.17-driver.html

CUDA SDK -
http://www.nvidia.com/object/thankyou.html?url=/compute/cuda/3_2_prod/toolkit/cudatoolkit_3.2.17_macos.pkg


Next you need to install Scapy
Scapy requires a couple libraries to be installed first - pylibpcap and libdnet.

Download and install libdnet and its python bindings
http://libdnet.googlecode.com/files/libdnet-1.12.tgz

tar -xzf libdnet-1.12.tgz
cd libdnet-1.12
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd python
sudo python setup.py install

Download and install pylibpcap
http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pylibpcap/pylibpcap-0.6.2.tar.gz

tar -xzf pylibpcap-0.6.2.tar.gz
cd pylibpcap-0.6.2
sudo python setup.py install

Download and install scapy
http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/scapy-latest.tar.gz

tar -xzf scapy-latest.tar.gz
cd scapy-latest
sudo python setup.py install

Now that all the pre-reqs are installed we can now build and install Pyrit.

Download the latest pyrit from svn -

svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit-read-only

Build and install pyrit -

cd pyrit-read-only
cd pyrit
sudo python setup.py install

Build and install pyrit-cuda -

cd pyrit-read-only
cd cpyrit_cuda
sudo LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib python setup.py install

Now that Pyrit is installed verify that cuda support is working -
