If no configuration file is provided, every flag is assumed to be unset. This flag can be set if and only if plaintext_only is also set.

Random instances of target character ( ) will be modified throughout the copied text. Only plaintext is modified, and all formatted text is ignoredĬut/copy events will be ignored entirely with a probability of 0.5 Following options are currently supported- Flag Kill $(cat $(echo /tmp/chaos-$(id -u).pid)) ConfigurationĪn optional configuration file daemon.json can be placed inside a parallel directory config/ before starting the daemon to control its behaviour. To run it, execute the binary chaosd present inside the directory chaos/. Note that this will remove all the source code as well, so if you are working on the code, you might want to modify the build script (see the comments inside the script).Ĭhaos runs in the background as a Unix-style deamon process, and does not require any superuser privileges. To build chaos from source, execute the Bash script build.sh with necessary privileges.

Installation Download the pre-built binaryĭownload the latest release from the releases page and unarchive it. Please use it judiciously, if you decide to do so. I wrote it as a proof-of-concept tool to show how easy it is for a rogue program to manipulate your system clipboard (after reading about a malicious clipboard hijacker discovered in PyPI), as well as a tool which can be used to play practical jokes on people, if that's your thing.Īs the name signifies, it is an agent of chaos.

Running chaos is a potentially destructive action, and it can cause irreversible damage when important text (say a password, or a cryptographic key) is copied to clipboard without any visible indication that the text was modified. The idea is to replace the ASCII character semicolon ( ) with an identical looking Unicode character Greek question mark (;) as soon as any text is copied to the clipboard, so that when a user tries to compile some copied code, their life becomes harder.Ĭlick here for a small demo showing what happens when chaos is running in the background. MT: Replace a semicolon ( ) with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's C# code and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error- Peter Ritchie November 16, 2014Ĭhaos is a pastejacking tool for GNU/Linux which modifies text copied to the operating system clipboard.
