SearchBin | Search within binary files for a string hex | Database library

SearchBin is a Python library typically used in Database applications. SearchBin has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However SearchBin build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

searchbin is a fast commandline program for searching within binary files. it's a bit like grep for binaries. it has three capabilities for searching. -search for bytes using hexidecimal -search for a plain text string -search for a smaller binary file. syntax: searchbin.py -t pattern [file [file...]] searchbin.py -p pattern [file [file...]] searchbin.py -f file [file [file...]]. examples search for the hex bytes "ff14de" in the file gamefile.db: $ ./searchbin.py -p "ff14de" gamefile.db match at offset: 907 38b in gamefile.db match at offset: 1881 759 in gamefile.db match at offset: 7284 1c74 in gamefile.db match at offset: 7420 1cfc in gamefile.db match at offset: 8096 1fa0 in gamefile.db. the printed offsets are listed in decimal and hexidecimal formats. you can also search for unknown patterns with "??". just insert them where ever you have an unknown byte: $ ./searchbin.py -p "ff??de" gamefile.db. you can search through multiple files at once, and search piped input: $ ./searchbin.py -p "ff??ee" gamefile.db supersecret.idx $ cat gamefile.db | ./searchbin -p "ff??ee". you can also search using regular text strings and other binary files. $ ./searchbin.py -t "hello" gamefile.db $ ./searchbin.py -f binaryfile gamefile.db. optional arguments: -h, --help show help message and exit -f file, --file file file to read search pattern from -t pattern, --text pattern a (non-unicode case-sensitive) text string to search for -p pattern, --pattern pattern a hexidecimal pattern to search for -b num, --buffer-size num read buffer size (in
