Do you have a particular language in which you prefer it to be written?

For example, if you don't have a compiler, you really don't want it written
in a language that needs to be compiled. However, this is a mute point
if you can get a "free" compiler (e.g., GNU C, or Java).

Another possibility would be for it to be written in a different scripting
language for which the interpreter is freely available (e.g., Python, or Perl).

What do you want?

Omg Honor , thanks for the code.

now i guess i need to download python and run it?
how exactly does it get the input and how does it output the output?

basically , im using this to decrypt SQL Injections which are hex coded
my SIEM system takes a string and tests that string (run command) to the command line tool

what i need is

Sql Injection Encoded - > ( i know how to extract the string ) - > raw string - > tool - > decrypted string (in a text file or on screen)

any ideas?

HonorGod

Well, yes, you have to download the Python interpreter.
Once it is install, you need to make is so that Python programs can
be executed from the command line.

- What Operating System is being used?

The instructions for doing the previous depend on the OS.

For example, for Windows, you can use the ActiveState python executable
Then, you can tell the OS what Python programs are, and how to execute them.

For Linux, you have to do things a bit differently. However, almost all Linux
installs have Python as part of the distribution.

How do you specify input values to Python Programs?

Easily. 1 way is to require that the parameters be specified on the command
line. Then, you can use some of the built-in packages/modules to retrieve the
user specified commands.

Another way is to have your program prompt for the user input.

From your description, it sounds like you just need a "filter", which is a "simple"
kind of program that process the data from "standard" input, and writes it to
"standard output".

Does this make sense? Let me know

Hi Honor ,

wierd thing - if i use the website javascript (in the website)
to convert 4445434C4152452 - > Declare

it goes well (u can try for yourself)

http://www.dolcevie.com/js/converter.html

But , if i use the script - here is the output i get

C:\>Script.py -a 4445434C415245
Invalid hex pattern: 4445434C415245

C:\>Script.py -a 4445434C4152452
Invalid hex pattern: 4445434C4152452

C:\>Script.py -a 44:45:43:4C:41:52:45:2
Invalid hex pattern: 44:45:43:4C:41:52:45:2

C:\>Script.py -a 44:45:43:4C:41:52:45
DECLARE

Is there a way to auto insert the ":" between every 2 chars?
