Feature Proposal: Alternative Interfaces

[jtpereyda]

I'm working on a way to switch out alternative interfaces. This would open the door to serial, radio, smoke signals, etc. as fuzzing mediums.

I need to do this for my own tests, but am hoping to share the extensibility changes.

• The basic plan is to refactor sessions.py such that the Target class contains all of the medium-specific connection code.
• From there it should be easy to subclass Target as needed for future interfaces.

I think @Fitblip alluded to moving away from pcaps for record-keeping in another issue. This will be a good time to do so -- pcaps may be a lot harder to get for alternative interfaces. For now, I plan to add some kind of logging mechanism to the Target class, such that all sent and received data is recorded. Action plan:

• Add logging mechanism to Target class
• Supplement but don't [yet] replace netmon.

Input welcome.

Edit: I actually did this a while ago and then lost my changes, so I know this basically works. I'm looking for input though since it's a significant new feature.
