provides a convenient and efficient way to retrieve signature information (Microsoft's sigcheck) for files and converts it to a pandas DataFrame

pip install sigdf

Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.10 / Anaconda

The get_sig_infos function is used to retrieve signature information for files located at a given path or paths using the sigcheck.exe utility. It collects information such as file signatures, file version, description, and other relevant details.

This function might be interesting for individuals or developers working with files and file security analysis. It can be particularly useful for tasks like identifying the digital signatures of executable files, verifying file authenticity, checking for file tampering, and gathering metadata about files in a specified location.

Advantages of the get_sig_infos function include:

Automation:

The function automates the process of retrieving signature information for multiple files or folders, saving time and effort compared to manually analyzing each file.

Extensibility:

It allows users to specify the path(s) and file extensions to analyze, making it flexible and adaptable to different scenarios and requirements.

Integration with Pandas:

The function leverages Pandas to organize the collected information into a DataFrame, enabling further data manipulation, analysis, and integration with other data processing workflows.

Error Handling:

The function includes error handling mechanisms, such as ignoring exceptions during the signature analysis and printing any encountered exceptions for debugging purposes. This helps ensure that the function can handle a variety of scenarios and continue processing files even if some exceptions occur.

Performance Optimization:

The function applies performance optimization techniques, such as reducing memory usage and using efficient Pandas operations, to enhance the efficiency and speed of the signature analysis process.

        Args:
            path (str|tuple|list): Path(s) to the file(s) or folder(s) to analyze. It can be a single path as a string,
                a tuple of paths, or a list of paths.
            extensions (tuple|list, optional): File extensions to consider. Only files with these extensions will be analyzed.
                Defaults to () - Nothing will be ignored.

        Returns:
            pd.DataFrame: A Pandas DataFrame containing the signature information for the analyzed files.

            from sigdf import get_sig_infos
            df = get_sig_infos(path=r"C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks X", extensions=())
        print(df[:10].to_string())
                                                                                Path Verified                Date               Publisher                Company      Description                             Product   Product Version                            File Version Machine Type    Binary Version Original Name Internal Name                                     Copyright Comments  Entropy                               MD5                                      SHA1                                    PESHA1                                                          PESHA256                                                            SHA256                               IMP
