netfleece 0.1.3.1

Microsoft .NET Remoting Binary Format (MS-NRBF) to JSON parser

Hello World!

netfleece is a small Microsoft .NET Remoting Binary Format (MS-NRBF) parser. It is capable of reading in a binary stream and parsing it into a generic, json-serializable Python-native data structure.

Why?

Distributed .NET projects sometimes use MS-NRBF streams for serializing and deserializing data. netfleece allows you to investigate that data in a convenient format that's widely supported by a number of tools.

Notable Missing Features:

• Not every record type is currently supported. If you find examples of files that utilize these records, please let me know and I will amend the tool.

• Arrays except for single dimensional, non-offset arrays are unimplemented.

Acknowledgement

This is very loosely based on https://github.com/agix/NetBinaryFormatterParser, which is a Python2 project, but also features a formatter that can perform the reverse operation.
