Search C Structures in a process' memory

Project description

HOWTO:
------

>>> import haystack
>>> haystack.findStruct( pid , 'ctypes.c_int')
>>> haystack.findStruct( pid , 'ctypes_example.big_struct')

It's easy to add new structures (check ctypeslib or do it by hand )


not so FAQ :
============

What does it do ?:
------------------
The basic functionnality is to search in a process' memory maps for a specific C Structures.

How do it knows that the structures is valid ? :
------------------------------------------------
You add some constraints ( expectedValues ) on the fields. Pointers are also a good start.

Where does the idea comes from ? :
-----------------------------------
use http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/breves/passe-partout.html.fr to get keys
use http://pauldotcom.com/2010/10/tsharkwireshark-ssl-decryption.html
or http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/ to read streams
use scapy, because it's fun ? but we need IP reassembly .
pynids could be more useful...
dsniff is now in python ?
flowgrep
use python.


What are the dependencies ? :
----------------------------
python-ptrace
