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
