Update XORSearch V1.8.0: Shifting

Filed under: My Software,OSX,Reverse Engineering,Update — Didier Stevens @ 21:32

This new version of XORSearch comes with a new operation: shifting left.

It comes in handy to reverse engineer protocols like TeamViewer’s remote access protocol.

Here’s an example. When you run TeamViewer, your machine gets an ID:

20-02-2013 22-11-39

We capture some TeamViewer traffic with Wireshark, and then we use XORSearch to search for TeamViewer ID 441055893 in this traffic:

20130216-231230

And as you can see, XORSearch finds this ID by left-shifting the content of the pcap file with one bit.
