SentryEye

This is a Python script that can be used to download logs from a specific Telegram channel. The tool will start scraping logs from a specified channel, starting from the most recent message and working backwards in time or the opposite based on your time value. When it finds a message containing a rar file attachment, it will download the file.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• configparser module (can be installed via pip)
• telethon module (can be installed via pip)
• colorama module (can be installed via pip)
• pytz module (can be installed via pip)

Getting started

1. Clone the repository or download the files.
2. Install the required dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Replace the api_id, api_hash, and channel_name variables in config.ini with your own Telegram API credentials and the name of the channel you want to scrape.

Configuring the config.ini file

The config.ini file should be in the following format:

[Telegram]
api_id = <your_api_id>
api_hash = <your_api_hash>
channel_name = <logs_channel_name>
days_back = <how_many_days_back>
waiting_time = <monitor_sleep_seconds>

• <your_api_id> and <your_api_hash> should be replaced with your own Telegram API credentials. You can obtain these credentials by following the instructions at https://my.telegram.org/.
• <logs_channel_name> should be replaced with the name of the logs channel you want to download logs from.
• <how_many_days_back> should be replaced with the number of days you want to go back in time. If you set days_back to 0, it will only download the files that were sent on the current day.
• <monitor_sleep_seconds> should be replaced with the how many waiting time between monitoring intervals (in seconds)

Note: Please do not include any quotes in the config.ini file.

Usage

1. Run the script by typing python sentry.py in the command line.
2. The script will connect to the Telegram API using the credentials in the config.ini file.
3. The script will download all new logs from the specified channel.

Note: Maybe Telegram will ask you to type your number and then the verification code that's normal.

Demo

I made a small demo and made the script to break after downloading the file to be able to exit from asciinema.
