Description Fabian Affolter 2019-06-15 19:23:09 UTC
Spec URL: https://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/haystack.spec
SRPM URL: https://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/haystack-0.42-1.fc30.src.rpm

Project URL: https://github.com/trolldbois/python-haystack

Description:
haystack is an heap analysis framework, focused on searching and reversing
of C structure in allocated memory.

The first function/API is the SEARCH function. It gives the ability
to search for known record types in a process memory dump or live
process's memory. The second function/API is the REVERSE function in the
extension python-haystack-reverse It aims at helping an analyst in reverse
engineering the memory records types present in a process heap. It focuses
on reconstruction, classification of classic C structures from memory. It
attempts to recreate types definition.

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-06-18 20:03:49 UTC
DEBUG util.py:585:  BUILDSTDERR: Error: 
DEBUG util.py:585:  BUILDSTDERR:  Problem: conflicting requests
DEBUG util.py:585:  BUILDSTDERR:   - nothing provides python3.7dist(construct) < 2.8 needed by haystack-0.42-1.fc31.noarch

Python-construct is 2.9.45 in Rawhide.

Try to relax the requirement? Although I doubt it would work.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-06-18 20:23:28 UTC
Minidump.py needs to be rewritten for construct 2.8.

Comment 3 Fabian Affolter 2020-09-01 11:58:10 UTC
There is not much action from upstream visible. Looks like that upstream is dead.

There was not a single action from upstream in the past 4 years. Upstream is dead.
