Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Extract sequences of bytes from binary for differents blocks Post 302843766 by Ophiuchus on Thursday 15th of August 2013 12:52:59 AM

Hello,

I've helped several times in this forum before and I know if somebody wants to help, helps. If somebody ask here there is not a forum rule to make attemtps before posting, due that sometimes the people just don't know where to begin. I'm asking and requesting help here (not complete solution) because I don't know in Python or any other language.

I only have the idea to extract the byte sequences searching regular expressions because not always the sequences are in the same position, but I don't know
in which language would be easier, faster, better and how to begin.

I'm using Ubuntu or Windows, but I'm asking for help and suggestions in bash if it possible or in Perl, Python, C or any language to handle binaries and be able
to extract the byte sequences I mention.

Maybe if someone knows how to do it in any language, could give some examples to follow and continue by myself.

I posted before but now I ask thinking in another approach, but still searching the way to extract the info reading the binary directly
without converting to text.

Thanks in advance for any help.
