Note:
While requiring all of ronin/support allows you to play around with
ronin-support in irb, it is always faster to selectively
require only the files you need from within ronin/support/.
Writing Ronin Ruby Scripts
Ronin isn’t just a CLI with a bunch of commands. The Ronin CLI is actually built on top of many powerful Ruby libraries and APIs, which you can use directly in custom Ruby scripts. Anything that the Ronin CLI can do, you can do in a Ruby script, usually in less than five lines!
Ronin provides the ronin-support library to help with writing custom Ruby scripts. ronin-support adds many APIs and extends Ruby to make it even more powerful!
Install
If you do not already have ronin-support installed, it can easily be installed via rubygems:
$ gem install ronin-support
