NAME

sigtool - signature and database management tool

SYNOPSIS

sigtool [options]

DESCRIPTION

sigtool can be used to generate MD5 checksums, convert data into hexadecimal format, list virus signatures and build/unpack/test/verify CVD databases and update scripts.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Output help information and exit.

-V, --version
    Print version number and exit.

--quiet
    Be quiet - output only error messages.

--stdout
    Write all messages to stdout.

--hex-dump
    Read data from stdin and write hex string to stdout.

--md5 [FILES]
    Generate MD5 checksum from stdin or MD5 sigs for FILES.

--mdb [FILES]
    Generate .mdb signatures for FILES.

--html-normalise=FILE
    Create normalised HTML files comment.html, nocomment.html, and script.html in current working directory.

--utf16-decode=FILE
    Decode UTF16 encoded data.

--vba=FILE
    Extract VBA/Word6 macros from given MS Office document.

--vba-hex=FILE
    Extract Word6 macros from given MS Office document and display the corresponding hex values.

-i, --info
    Print a CVD information and verify MD5 and a digital signature.

-b, --build
    Build a CVD file. -s, --server is required.

--server
    ClamAV Signing Service address (for virus database maintainers only).

--unpack FILE, -u FILE
    Unpack FILE (CVD) to a current directory.

--unpack-current
    Unpack a local CVD file (main or daily) to current directory.

--diff=OLD NEW, -d OLD NEW
    Create a diff file for OLD and NEW CVDs/INCDIRs.

--run-cdiff=FILE, -r FILE
    Execute update script FILE in current directory.

--verify-cdiff=FILE, -r FILE
    Verify DIFF against CVD/INCDIR.

-l[FILE], --list-sigs[=FILE]
    List all signature names from the local database directory (default) or from FILE.

-fREGEX, --find-sigs=REGEX
    Find and display signatures from the local database directory which match the given REGEX. The whole signature body (name, hex string, etc.) is checked.

-fREGEX, --decode-sigs=REGEX
    Decode signatures read from the standard input (eg. piped from --find-sigs)

-fREGEX, --test-sigs=DATABASE TARGET_FILE
    Test all signatures from DATABASE against TARGET_FILE.

EXAMPLES

Generate hex string from testfile and save it to testfile.hex:

    cat testfile | sigtool --hex-dump > testfile.hex
