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.
