deadbeef

The most important part of much important work is coming up with clever hex-encoded constants to put into your code, protocols, and exploits. This module attempts to address a shocking lack of diversity constant of these constants and hopes to ignite a renaissance in hex constants around the world.

Install

To install:

pip install deadbeef

Usage

To use:

import deadbeef

# gets a cool hex constant (string) of length 8
print "0x" + deadbeef.get_string(8)

# gets a cool int of length *4* that hex()es to a string of length 8 (plus '0x')
print hex(deadbeef.get_int(8))

# get some even hexspeak
print deadbeef.get_int(postfilter=lambda w: int(w, 16) % 2 == 0)

# get some hexspeak that has at least 7 different letters pre-conversion
print deadbeef.get_int(prefilter=lambda w: len(set(w)) >= 7)

# when a string can't be found, the BADC0DE exception is raised
try:
	print deadbeef.get_string(100000)
except deadbeef.BADC0DE:
	print "no can do"

Replacements

deadbeef makes the following replacements to hexify strings:

From	To
g	9
i	1
j	f
o	0
s	5
t	7
z	2
l	1
q	9
h	6

Custom replacements can be provided by instantiating your own DEADBEEF object and using it instead of the module-wide functions.
