NAME

       sigfind - Find a binary signature in a file

SYNOPSIS

       sigfind [-b bsize ] [-o offset ] [-t template ] [-lV] [ hex_signature ]
       file

DESCRIPTION

       sigfind searches through a file and looks for the  hex_signature  at  a
       given  offset.   This  can  be  used  to  search for lost boot sectors,
       superblocks, and partition tables.

ARGUMENTS

       -b bsize
              Specify the block size in which to search.  The default  is  512
              and the value must be a multiple of 512.

       -o offset
              Specify the offset in a block in which the signature must exist.
              The default is 0.

       -t template
              Specify a template name that defines  the  signature  value  and
              offset.   Run  with  no  options  to  get  a  list  of supported
              templates.

       -l     The signature is  stored  in  little-endian  ordering  and  must
              therefore be reversed.

       -V     Display version

       [hex_signature]
              The  binary  signature  that  you are searching for.  It must be
              given in hexadecimal format.  This argument must exist if -t  is
              not used.

       file   Any raw data.

EXAMPLES

       sigfind -o 510 -l AA55 disk.dd

       sigfind -t fat disk.dd
