Hello,

That's a great suggestion. I've opened a simple PR to address it.

Having said that I don't believe we've tested the serial mechanism you are using on Windows. Do the run_serial_cmd calls work for you?

I haven't confirmed that the program runs, but that the function did trigger a recording. I'll investigate further.

Sure thing. I did want to point you to this resource where someone else was able to type commands on windows. https://adalogics.com/blog/Building-a-custom-malware-sandbox-with-PANDA-Part-1

Looking at that example, the author uses the subprocess module and stdio/stdin to send commands to the running panda qemu. Is there an equivalent way to use the socket connections that PyPandare uses? I noticed the sockets created in /tmp which are created as socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM), but I don't know how to read/write with them, or which socket to use (self.serial_socket vs. self.monitor_socket).

If you can get a serial connection hooked up to something you would be using the self.serial_socket. The monitor_socket connects to the QEMU monitor, which controls QEMU functionality.

We do expose a lower level type_serial_cmd function, but you may be better off calling send and receive yourself based on what you're doing.
