2.1 Identifying Crypto Signatures Using Signsrch

A useful tool to search for the cryptographic signatures in a file or process is Signsrch, which can be downloaded from http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm. This tool relies on cryptographic signatures to detect encryption algorithms.  The cryptographic signatures are located in a text file, signsrch.sig. In the following output, when signsrch is run with the -e option, it displays the relative virtual addresses where the DES signatures were detected in the binary:
