Stan is a console application that analyzes binary streams and calculates several useful statistical information from the observed data.

It features statistical, pattern and bit analysis. Stan has been designed as a "swiss-knife" for first steps in reverse engineering and cryptographic analysis.

Installation:

./configure
make
make install

Example:

Learn about your password file. Before you execute the following command, guess which is the most common 2 byte pattern.

stan /etc/passwd.

If you want to analyse your PRNG device, try the following setup

dd if=/dev/urandom count=10 | stan -b

You may also use stan to analyse text. Let's look at the most common letter patterns in this man page.

man stan | stan -p 5 -f 2
