Lightgrep is a new regular expression engine, designed specifically
|
|
for digital forensics. Why another regexp engine?
|
|
|
|
Lightgrep:
|
|
|
|
- searches for many patterns simultaneously
|
|
- searches binary data as a stream, not as discrete lines of text
|
|
- searches for patterns in many different encodings; give it dirty
|
|
data, lightgrep don't care
|
|
- never, ever, ever, never, never looks at a byte twice or backs up
|
|
in your input
|
|
|
|
Lightgrep is still pretty new and doesn't have all the regexp features
|
|
you might be used to. But it has enough features to be more than a
|
|
toy, and what is supported is well-tested.
