sigfind - Find a binary signature in a file
Contents
Arguments
-b bsize
Specify the block size in which to search. The default is 512 and the value must be a multiple of
512.
-o offset
Specify the offset in a block in which the signature must exist. The default is 0.
-t template
Specify a template name that defines the signature value and offset. Run with no options to get a
list of supported templates.
-l The signature is stored in little-endian ordering and must therefore be reversed.
-V Display version
[hex_signature]
The binary signature that you are searching for. It must be given in hexadecimal format. This
argument must exist if -t is not used.
file Any raw data.
Description
sigfind searches through a file and looks for the hex_signature at a given offset. This can be used to
search for lost boot sectors, superblocks, and partition tables.
Examples
sigfind -o 510 -l AA55 disk.dd
sigfind -t fat disk.dd
