About The Project

Prevent accidental execution of binaries by prepending a "unique header" to the binary.

Requirements

• Python3

Example CLI Usage

• Prepend "deadcafe" to binaries in a specific directory.

./safeheader.py --patch --dir ./test_bins/\*

./safeheader.py -p -d ./test_bins/\*

Note, you must specify an extension or add '' to prepend a header to all files.*

• Remove "deadcafe" from binaries in a specific directory.

./safeheader.py --rm --dir test_bins/\*

Unit Tests

Executing python -m unittest should result in

.[+] Successfully patched ./test_bins/test.bin with header b'\xde\xad\xca\xfe'
.[!] Error, you cannot remove and patch the magicheader!
.[!] Error, you cannot remove and patch the magicheader!
