# rsbkb (Rust blackbag)

## What is it?

`rsbkb` has multiple tools which are designed to be called directly (through
symlinks). This allows various operations on data to be chained easily like
CyberChef but through pipes.

It also includes various practical tools like `entropy` or a timestamp decoder.

## Examples

Read 10 bytes from `/etc/passwd` starting at offset `0x2f`, then `xor` with
`0xF2`, encode it in URL-safe base64 and finally URL encode it:

```
$ slice /etc/passwd 0x2f +10 | xor -x f2 | b64 -u | urlenc
l5%2DdnMjdh4GA3Q%3D%3D
```

Various examples:

```
$ unhex 4141:4141
AA:AA
$ echo -n'4141:4141' | unhex
AA:AA
$ crc32 '41 41 41 32'
e60ce752
$ echo -n '41 41 41 32' | crc32
e60ce752
$ echo test | b64 | urlenc

$ tsdec 146424672000234122

$ rsbkb bofpattoff -b 0x41623841
Decoded pattern: Ab8A (big endian: true)
Offset: 54 (mod 20280) / 0x36
$ echo -n tototutu | rsbkb entropy

$ bgrep -x 454c460201 /bin/ls
0x1
$ bgrep "\x45\x4c..\x01" /bin/ls
0x1
$ findso -p /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -r memcpy /bin/ls
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
```

## How to use

### Build it / Get it

```
$ cargo rustc --release
```

or:

* get the binary from the [release page](https://github.com/trou/rsbkb/releases).
* get the latest artifact from the [Actions](https://github.com/trou/rsbkb/actions) page.

### Usage

* All tools take values as an argument on the command line or if not present, read stdin
* Tool name can be specified on the command line `rsbkb TOOL`
* Or can be called busybox-style: `ln -s rsbkb unhex ; unhex 4142`

```
for i in $(rsbkb list) ; do ln -s rsbkb $i ; done
```

## Included tools

* `hex`: hex encode
* `unhex`: decode hex data (either in the middle of arbitrary data, or strictly)
* `b64`: base64 encode (use `-u` or `--URL` for URL-safe b64)
* `d64`: base64 decode (use `-u` or `--URL` for URL-safe b64)
* `urlenc`: url encode
* `urldec`: url decode
* `xor`: xor (use `-x` to specify the key, in hex, `-f` to specify a file)
* `crc`: all CRC algorithms implemented in the [Crc](https://docs.rs/crc/2.1.0/crc/) crate
* `crc16`: CRC-16
* `crc32`: CRC-32
* `bofpatt` / `boffpattoff`: buffer overflow pattern generator / offset calculator
* `tsdec`: decode various timestamps (Epoch with different resolutions, Windows FILETIME)
* `slice`: slice of a file: :
* `slice input_file 10` will print `input_file` from offset 10 on stdout.
* `slice input_file 0x10 0x20` will do the same from 0x10 to 0x20 (excluded).
* `slice input_file 0x10 +0xFF` will copy `0xFF` bytes starting at `0x10`.
* `slice input_file -0x10` will the last 0x10 bytes from `input_file`
* `entropy`: entropy of a file
* `bgrep`: simple binary grep
* `findso`: find which ELF shared library (.so) exports a given name/function
* `inflate` and `deflate`: raw inflate/deflate compression, fault tolerant and with optional Zlib header support
