A python library for identifying files by headers (magic bytes)

Project description

A python library for identifying files by headers (magic bytes)

based on info from: ‘Wikipedia - List of file signatures’

Still alpha, but code should be easy enough to follow and expand upon.

Example use:

# returns a Match object (list of signatures) that match the file 'f'
with open(f_name, "rb") as f:
    derp = get_from_file(f)

# returns Match object (list of signatures) that match the file at this file path
herp = get_from_path(f_name)

# this can be a string or a bytestring, will raise exception if no matching headers found.
Matches(header="%PDF")

file_signatures.compare(header, test_hex_string)

A method that compares a two file headers, the first one directly read from a file, the second is a a string containing space delimited hexidecimal byte codes. its a string becuase ‘nn’ is used to represent a wildcard byte.

test_hex_string

This is the string of space delimited hexidecimal byte codes representing the file signature.

‘nn’ is used to represent a wildcard byte

example:

# for example, "%PDF"
test_hex_string = "25 50 44 46"

# showing wildcards, %P**DF
test_hex_string = "25 50 nn nn 44 46"

get_from_file(f, max_header=32)

Return a Match object of all the matching Signatures for this file

f

‘f’ is the open file object.

Note: you can use textIO to get a file like object from a string

max_header

This is the length in bytes read from the start of the file used as the file header.

get_from_path(path, max_header=32)

Return a Match object of all the matching signatures for this file, using the path rather than a file object now.

path

‘path’ is the path to a file, it is passed into open() so it can be relative if you like.

max_header

This is the length in bytes read from the start of the file used as the file header.

file_signatures.Signature

A class that reimplements a dictionary. These are initialised and returned as part of the Match class when a Byte signature is tested using the file_signatures.compare() function.

file_extension

A suggested file extension for this type of file

description

A brief description of the file type taken from ‘List of file signatures’.

offset

Not implemented yet…

ascii

ASCII interpretation of the file signature eg. ‘%PDF’

hex

The space delimited hexidecimal byte codes representing the file signature.

example:

# for example, "%PDF"
test_hex_string = "25 50 44 46"

(see above test_hex_string)

file_signatures.Match

This is a list reimplemented, it is returned by get_from_file and get_from_path defs. It holds a list Signature objects.

file_signatures.NoMatchException

This is a basic exception used when a match cannot be found.

Use try: except: statements in your code if you dont like this.

file_signatures.signatures

a list of dictionary items representing a file signature class. Used to check against and initialise new Signatures.

example:

# example entry from file_signatures.signatures list
{'ascii': 'v/1.',
 'description': 'OpenEXR image',
 'file_extension': 'exr',
 'hex': '76 2F 31 01',
 'offset': '0'}
