ZZIPLIB-BIN(1)

💖 ZZIPLIB-BIN 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for the zzip binary toolset — a lil squad of tiny command-line cuties that let you peek inside zip archives and do a little xor magic. it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

zzcat, zzdir, zzxorcat, zzxordir, zzxorcopy — small tools using zziplib. periodt. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zzcat FILE [...]
zzdir DIR [...]
zzxorcat [-HEX] FILE [...]
zzxordir [-HEX] DIR [...]
zzxorcopy [-HEX] FILE OUTFILE

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea on each one of these lil guys. 🍓

zzcat prints the given files to stdout, so like… you're probably gonna wanna redirect that output somewhere. no cap. and the FILE can be either a totally normal file, OR an inflated part of a zip archive — see OPTIONS for the deets. ✨

zzdir prints the content table to stdout for the given DIR or zipfile. like a little table of contents moment. 👑

zzxorcat prints the given files to stdout, so again, bestie, you may wanna redirect the output. the FILE here is an inflated part of a zip archive that's been obfuscated with a xor value, which you can optionally hand it via the HEX option. 🔥

zzxorcat... no wait, zzxordir — it prints the content table to stdout of the given DIR or zipfile. and the DIR can be an inflated part of a zip archive obfuscated with a xor value, optionally given by the HEX option. same energy, different tool. 💜

zzxorcopy copies data from FILE to OUTFILE, adding simple obfuscation by xor-ing each byte with the HEX value you give it. and here's the iconic part — remember that copying data twice with the same xor-value will result in the original file data. it's giving reversible, it's giving lowkey genius. 😭✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the zziplib-bin tools accept the following options:

• FILE — input filename for reading, or a part of an archive (if the tool supports it). a "part" is written as zipname/filename, e.g.: to access README inside of data.zip you'd specify data/README. iykyk. 🎀
• DIR — a disk directory, a zipfile, or an inflated part of a zipfile.
• -HEX — hex number for xor-ing the zipfile contents. if you don't supply it, all tools that use it take 0x55 as the default value for xor-ing. so there's always a fallback, bestie. 🫶
• OUTFILE — output file name for zzxorcopy.
