FieldHunter

Re-implementation of parts of the protocol reverse engineering approach FieldHunter (FH) as proposed in

Bermudez, Ignacio, Alok Tongaonkar, Marios Iliofotou, Marco Mellia, und Maurizio M. Munafò. „Towards Automatic Protocol Field Inference“. Computer Communications 84 (15. Juni 2016). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2016.02.015.

Written by Stephan Kleber stephan.kleber@uni-ulm.de who also proposed some improvements for the field heuristics in inference/fieldtypesRelaxed.py used by src/fh_relaxed.py for evaluation to be run by eval-fh-relaxed.sh.

The original FieldHunter heuristics are run via eval-fh.sh.

It only implements FH's binary message handling using n-grams (not textual using delimiters!)

Statistics about traces can be gained by eval-traces.sh.

Not sure about a licence right now.
