OWASP File Format ValidationWelcome to the home of OWASP File Format Validation (FFV) Project ! IntroductionThe goal of the project is to provide a database of assertions to check the most of file format. Each assertion is a translation of an official specification (ISO, RFC, UIT-T, ...) in BIL (Binary Inspection Language), an other part of this project. BIL is a useful language(language+compiler/interpreter) which allow you to write for each file format, a program to check all files in this format. BIL is easy to learn and can be used by the persons who write specifications. More informations about BIL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/binil/ FFV + BIL would like offer a rugged validation of files format in the applications, NOT only based on the signature. DescriptionThe 3 sub-projects : - File Format Description Language (FFDL) : It is a pseudo-language like regexp useful to describe structure of data in a file. FFDL is helpful to make assertion for each specification of a format. - File Format Database (FFDB) : It is a sort of file/xml database, where each specifications of each file format are stored. - File Format Validator : It is final package provide to final user. When a package is build, for each format in File Format Database a source file in the language
