rsbkb has multiple tools which are designed to be called directly (through symlinks). This allows various operations on data to be chained easily like CyberChef but through pipes.

It also includes various practical tools like entropy or a timestamp decoder.

1. install with cargo install rsbkb
2. run rsbkb to list applets
3. run rsbkb help <applet> to learn more
4. optionally create symlinks to call applets directly (e.g.: ln -s rsbkb slice)

Read 10 bytes from /etc/passwd starting at offset 0x2f, then xor with 0xF2, encode it in URL-safe base64 and finally URL encode it:

$ slice /etc/passwd 0x2f  10 | xor -x f2 | b64 -u | urlenc

Various examples:

$ unhex 4141:4141
AA:AA
$ echo -n'4141:4141' | unhex
AA:AA
$ crc32 '41 41 41 32'

$ echo -n '41 41 41 32' | crc32

$ echo test | b64 | urlenc

$ cargo rustc --release

or:

• get the binary from the release page.
• get the latest artifact from the Actions page.

• All tools take values as an argument on the command line or if not present, read stdin
• Tool name can be specified on the command line rsbkb TOOL
• Or can be called busybox-style: ln -s rsbkb unhex ; unhex 4142

for i in $(rsbkb list) ; do ln -s rsbkb $i ; done

• hex: hex encode
• unhex: decode hex data (either in the middle of arbitrary data, or strictly)
• b64: base64 encode (use -u or --URL for URL-safe b64)
• d64: base64 decode (use -u or --URL for URL-safe b64)
• urlenc: url encode
• urldec: url decode
• xor: xor (use -x to specify the key, in hex, -f to specify a file)
• crc: all CRC algorithms implemented in the Crc crate
• crc16: CRC-16
• crc32: CRC-32
• bofpatt / boffpattoff: buffer overflow pattern generator / offset calculator
• tsdec: decode various timestamps (Epoch with different resolutions, Windows FILETIME)
• slice: slice of a file: :
• slice input_file 10 will print input_file from offset 10 on stdout.
• slice input_file 0x10 0x20 will do the same from 0x10 to 0x20 (excluded).
• slice input_file 0x10 0xFF will copy 0xFF bytes starting at 0x10.
• slice input_file -0x10 will the last 0x10 bytes from input_file
• entropy: entropy of a file
• bgrep: simple binary grep
• findso: find which ELF shared library (.so) exports a given name/function
• inflate and deflate: raw inflate/deflate compression, fault tolerant and with optional Zlib header support
• base: easy radix conversion of big integers
• escape: backslash-escape special characters in strings (generic, single quote, shell, bash, bash single)
• unescape: unescape \ escaped chars in strings

Usage: rsbkb slice <file> <start> [end]

Arguments:

  <start>  start of slice, relative to end of file if negative
  [end]    end of slice: absolute, relative to <start> if prefixed with  , relative to end of file if negative

This is a Rust reimplementation of some tools found in emonti's rbkb, itself a Ruby reimplementation of Matasano's BlackBag.
