Hi,

I am looking for a software that can mine a file from another binary file (or just blob), something like NetworkMiner but for regular files.

Do you know if such software exist? i am assume that someone have created it already but i can't find it through googleing.

I have found binwalk http://code.google.com/p/binwalk/,
but bitwalk seems to be for linux, i would like to get something for windows (that can search for .sys .exe and so on).

Thanks.

you are right, but why do it by hand if there is an automated Tool ? a tool can do that automatically for a large amount of files and file signatures.

I guess it depends from what kind of data you want to extract and from what type of format.
Being so generic, I'd suggest you to give a look at FileInsight. It's a pretty good tool.

Why can't you just write a little python script fe? I think it took longer for you to wait for a respond.
