-# A (to be) bare-bones analyzer for the game Broken Ranks
+# A bare-bones analyzer for the game Broken Ranks
-Yet to be implemented, analyzer for the game Broken Ranks.
-Inspired by [BrokenHUD](https://github.com/Brok3nSign/BrokenTools/releases).
-Will definitely be way more primitive than the one it's inspired on, because I just can't be bothered to add all those features.

+Way more primitive than the one it's inspired by, because I just can't be bothered to add all those features.
Unless you value FOSS or have troubles setting up BrokenHUD on your linux system, then you should use [it](https://github.com/Brok3nSign/BrokenTools/releases) instead.

+## Features
+- Capturing packets sent by the game and saving them to a file for later use
+
+### Planned features
+- Analyzer for the `.pcap` files containing captured packets:
+ - List of fight results in the given file with rewards gained for each player
+ - Total gained rewards in all fights in the given file
+- Live analyzer parsing packets in real time:
+ - Results of the last fight
+ - Total gained rewards, since starting the analyzer
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Base utils: `git`, `gcc`, `make`
+- [tshark](https://tshark.dev/setup/install/#installing-tshark-only)
+
+### Installation
+**1. Clone and enter the repository:**
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Mosder/branal
+cd branal
+```
+
+**2. Create the server header file:**
+You will need to find out the IP address of the game server.
+To do so, use [termshark](https://github.com/gcla/termshark) or any other tool you'd prefer.
+Then, create the file (replace `<ip>` with the IP address you found):
+```
+echo "#define SERVER_IP \"<ip>\"" > analyzer/headers/server.h
+```
+It's not included in the repository to avoid it being scraped by bots or something.
+
+**3. Modify the interface header file:**
+Right now the used interface is `enp8s0`, which likely isn't the name of your interface.
+To find the name of your interface, use:
+```
+ip address
+```
+Then, modify the file (replace `<interface>` with your interface name):
+```
+echo "#define INTERFACE \"<interface>\"" > analyzer/headers/interface.h
+```
+
+**4. Compile the code**:
+Finally, compile the code with `make`.
+To install it into `/usr/bin`:
+```
+make
+```
+that will use sudo and require password.
+You can instead install it into `~/.local/bin`:
+```
+make local
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Live analyzer (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
+To start live analyzer, use:
+```
+branal
+```
+or
+```
+branal (l | live)
+```
+It will open the live analyzer in your terminal.
+
+### File analyzer (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
+To analize a `.pcap` file, use:
+```
+branal (f | file) <file>
+```
+It will perform analysis of the specified `<file>`.
+
+### Capturing packets
+To just capture packets from the server, use:
+```
+branal (c | capture) [file]
+```
+It will start capturing packets to the specified `[file]`.
+If `[file]` is not specified, it will capture them to the default location (`~/.local/share/branal/captures`).
+
+### Help
+You can display help using:
+```
+branal (h | help)
+```
