had both lines: Author: ... WWW: .... So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary. Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying forms, like -- name, etc. s/AUTHOR/Author/ A few other various formatting issues

XORSearch is a program to search for a given string in an XOR or
|
|
ROL encoded binary file. An XOR encoded binary file is a file where
|
|
some (or all) bytes have been XORed with a constant value (the key).
|
|
A ROL (or ROR) encoded file has it bytes rotated by a certain number
|
|
of bits (the key). XOR and ROL/ROR encoding is used by malware
|
|
programmers to obfuscate strings like URLs.
|
|
|
|
XORSearch will try all XOR keys (0 to 255) and ROL keys (1 to 7)
|
|
when searching. I programmed XORSearch to include key 0, because
|
|
this allows to search in an unencoded binary file (X XOR 0 equals
|
|
X).
|
|
|
|
If the search string is found, XORSearch will print it until the 0
|
|
(byte zero) is encountered or until 50 characters have been printed,
|
|
which ever comes first. 50 is the default value, it can be changed
|
|
with option -l. Unprintable characters are replaced by a dot.
