This repository holds the files related to a CUDA enabled file header/footer search writen in CPP11. This code is cross-platform compatible and has been tested on the following platforms:
- Windows 10
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Fedora 29.
Not all of the files in this repository are required for the running of the final compiled program, there is many sections of code that remain for a point of comparison that were created before the introduction of a git repository. In order to compile the Aletheia program a sister repository fileChunkerClass must also be installed.
In the event Scalpel releases a new set of patterns -- OR you wish to load in different patterns that are commented out in the scalpel configuration -- the python script scalpelConfigReJig.py will help. This script should ensure that the pattern meets with Aletheia's requirements. One large requirement includes that Aletheia is unable to search for patterns containing Wildcards at this time; psuedocode for this has been theorised but not implemented.
Coming soon
The following commands will compile this code in a Unix Operating system with the prerequisite nVidia drivers installed:
$ git submodule update --init
$ nvcc Aletheia/Prod/kernel.cu fileChunkingClass/fileHandler.cpp -o aletheia.run
