About this deal
TrID matching code is still shipped with PolyFile and can be invoked programmatically, but it is not used by default. Output Format explicitly match against the given filetype or filetype wildcard (default is to match against all filetypes) curl -v --silent https://www.sultanik.com/files/ESultanikResume.pdf | polyfile --html ESultanikResume.html - polymerge can also optionally emit a Graphviz .dot file or rendered PDF of the runtime control-flow graph recorded
no-debug-python by default, the `--debugger` option will break on custom matchers and prompt to debug using PDB. This option will suppress those prompts. man 5 magic. PolyFile implements an interactive debugger for stepping through the DSL specifications, modeled after
To be used in conjunction with `--dataflow`. If enabled, only functions in the dataflow graph if they operated on the tainted bytes. This can result in a disjoint dataflow graph. You can read the minimal and—as we have discovered in our cleanroom implementation— incomplete documentation by running
As mentioned above, polymerge attempts to match each semantic type of the input file to a set of functions that are For each function, calculate the Shannon entropy of the different types on which that function operated; A separate utility called polymerge is installed with PolyFile specifically designed to merge the output of both For an example that exercises all of these file formats, run: curl -v --silent https://www.sultanik.com/files/ESultanikResume.pdf | polyfile --html ESultanikResume.html -For each type within the semantic hierarchy, a list of functions that are “most specialized” in processing that type. debugger, -db drop into an interactive debugger for libmagic file definition matching and PolyFile parsing
definition, determine why a specific file fails to be classified as the expected MIME type, or step through a parser.demangle Demangle C++ function names in the CFG (requires that PolyFile was installed with the `demangle` option, or that the `cxxfilt` Python module is installed.) libmagic has an esoteric, poorly documented domain-specific language (DSL) for specifying its matching signatures. identification rather than the libmagic file definitions. This proved to be very slow (since TrID has many duplicate
