Changing the Prompt - rhaidiz/bettercap GitHub Wiki
The interactive session prompt can be modified by setting the $ variable, for instance this:
set $ something
Will set the prompt to the string something, which is not very useful, that is why you can also access variables and use colors/effects by using the proper syntax and operators as you can see from the prompt default configuration {by}{fw}{cidr} {fb}> {env.iface.ipv4} {reset} {bold}ยป {reset}.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
{bold} |
Set text to bold. |
{dim} |
Set dim effect on text. |
{r} |
Set text foreground color to red. |
{g} |
Set text foreground color to red. |
{b} |
Set text foreground color to red. |
{y} |
Set text foreground color to red. |
{fb} |
Set text foreground color to black. |
{fw} |
Set text foreground color to white. |
{bdg} |
Set text background color to dark gray. |
{br} |
Set text background color to red. |
{bg} |
Set text background color to green. |
{by} |
Set text background color to yellow. |
{blb} |
Set text background color to light blue. |
{reset} |
Reset text effects (added by default at the end of the prompt if not specified). |
There are also other operators you can use in order to access specific information about the session.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
{cidr} |
Selected interface subnet CIDR. |
{net.sent} |
Number of bytes being sent by the tool on the network. |
{net.sent.human} |
Number of bytes being sent by the tool on the network (human readable form). |
{net.errors} |
Number of errors while sending packets. |
{net.received} |
Number of bytes being sniffed from the tool on the network. |
{net.received.human} |
Number of bytes being sniffed from the tool from the network (human readable form). |
{net.packets} |
Number of packets being sniffed by the tool from the network. |
And finally, you can access and use any variable that has been declared in the interactive session using the {env.NAME-OF-THE-VAR} operator, for instance, the default prompt is using {env.iface.ipv4} that is replaced by the iface.ipv4 session variable contents ( you can check it using the get iface.ipv4 command ).
