- Short: Extracts Words from binary Files (min. length adjustable)
- Author: madmax@uni-paderborn.de (Dirk Held)
- Uploader: madmax@uni-paderborn.de (Dirk Held)
- Type: util/cli
-
- usage : Hexer <InFile> <OutFile> <MinWordLen> [CharSetFile]
-
- This tiny Tool reads a binary File, extracts all readable Stuff (actualy every
- Substring, which has at least <MinWordLen> Nonwhitespaces), and writes them
- with the Position in the File to the given OutFile.
-
- With a fourth Parameter you can add a Filename, which contains all Non-
- whitespaces. A example is included (Hexer.Chars).
-
- Some Games only use 7-Bit ASCII for their texts, and instead adding a ┤\0┤ to
- the end, they set the eighth Bit of the last character of each word.
- This is checked, if you don┤t add any Nonwhitespaces with the eighth Bit set.
-
- The Source is included and was compiled with M2Amiga 4.301d.
- It should run on any Amiga, but nothing below A4000-40 Kick 3.1 is tested.
-
- This is ANYWARE, but the Copyright of the Programm belongs to me.
- This means, You can send me anything you want.
- And if its enough Money (>= 15 DM, 10 $ etc.), you will receive the next
- Version. (But at the Moment I┤m too busy)
-
- But don┤t blame me, if Your Computer blows up, your doggy drops dead, or
- anything like this, when You (ab)use this tiny Proggy.
-
- Further Plans :
- - nice GUI
- - more intelligent Searchmodes (any Ideas out there ??)
- - more informations in the Output
- - builtin PatchOmatiC (also for integer values near the text)
- - all in all, this should become an HexEditor made for patching
- - decryption/decrunching (obtain XFD for decrunching)
- (any Algorithems known ?)
