Version

  1.2

Script that finds ascii and base64 encoded hex strings in a compiled binary, calculates the Shannon entropy of any strings found, and saves results to text and csv files. Minimum entropy and binary data chunk size are defined in the src/secrets.conf file. Entropy must be a floating point number between 1.0 and 8.0 inclusive. Chunk size is set to 512 bytes by default, but can be any size.

The following two directories will be created in the secrets.py root directory (if -o option is not used):
  -logs/        Stores session logs as sec.log
  -results/   Stores resulting files as <input_file_name>.txt and <input_file_name>.csv
