LibCryptParse

Soon to be a library for parsing linux' /proc/crypto file

Now collecting /proc/crypto files from the wild to analyze them and search for common patterns.

For now, you can help by running ./collect.sh on your Linux machine. It should be run from the project root directory and it will save a copy of your /proc/crypto file into the samples/ subdirectory. You may run cryptsetup benchmark to load additional common ciphers/modes.

Below is a table of relationships between cipher type and which fields it may contain. A ✔ means the field is always present, a ✕ means that field is never present, a . means the field may or may not be present. It may also happen that a whole row is just empty, this happens if the supplied crypto file lacks a cipher of that type.

This table is generated by the ./parse.py script, which takes paths to crypto files as command line arguments. So you can run ./parse.py /proc/crypto to genarate this table for your system, running ./parse.py samples/*/* should yield the table below.
