DESCRIPTION
lemmeknow is a tool for identifying unknown text, encoded strings, hashes, and other data patterns. It can analyze hard-coded strings from captured network packets, malware, or any other source to determine what kind of data they represent (e.g., API keys, hashes, encoded values, IP addresses).It is approximately 33x faster than pywhat for file analysis and 3x faster for single strings. The tool also supports WebAssembly compilation for browser-based use.
PARAMETERS
-j, --json
