filesignaturecollectors 0.1.7

Collects, processes and stores information on 'magic numbers'.

File Signature Collectors

Project focused on obtaining, processing and storing information related to "magic numbers" from the files.

You can save the data in a normal file (file_signatures - default) or in a sqlite file (file_signatures.sqlite - default).

Note: In the Byte Offset field, if it appears:

• -512 => last 512 bytes.
• +=188 => every 188th bytes.

Install

pip install filesignaturecollectors

# gets data from source.
data1 = c.get_data_wiki()
data2 = c.get_data_gck()

# filters and concatenates the elements into a single list.
c.consolidate_data(data1, data2)

# gets the list of formatted items for storage.
