💖 bsigs — bestie's guide to the bsigs(8) page 💖

okay so welcome to bsigs, section 8 of the manual, and honestly? she's a little niche but she's so useful. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bsigs — a program for debugging burp protocol2 manifest files and indexes.

That's it. That's the whole vibe. She debugs. She manifests. Literally. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bsigs [filename]

A program for debugging burp protocol2 manifest files and indexes. It reads a file containing binary signatures and checksums, converts them to hex, and writes them to stdout. This program comes with the burp backup and restore package. 🎀

So like — you hand her a file full of unreadable binary nonsense, and she's like "bestie, let me translate" and out comes hex on your terminal. Iconic behavior, no notes. 💅

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

Here's the part where we actually do stuff. First, go to the directory:

cd /var/spool/burp

Then run bsigs on whatever file you're curious about. All the examples, exactly as they live in the wild:

bsigs global/clients/testclient/current/manifest/00000022

bsigs global/clients/testclient/current/manifest/dfiles

bsigs global/clients/testclient/current/manifest/dindex/00000002

bsigs global/clients/testclient/current/manifest/hooks/00000002

bsigs global/clients/testclient/current/manifest/sparse

bsigs global/data/sparse

look at all those manifests and indexes getting their moment in the spotlight 🥹 run any of these and boom, hex on stdout. 🔥
