File Analyzer is a Python tool for binary file analysis. It extracts strings and URLs, calculates SHA-256 hashes, and visualizes string length distributions. With a user-friendly GUI, it generates HTML reports for easy interpretation. Ideal for malware analysis, forensics, and general file inspection tasks.

File Analyzer

File Analyzer is a Python application that provides detailed analysis of binary files, extracting strings, URLs, and generating visual representations of the file contents.

Features

• File selection via GUI
• SHA-256 hash calculation
• Extraction of printable ASCII strings
• Detection of HTTPS URLs
• Generation of string length distribution histogram
• Creation of an HTML report with all findings

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• tkinter
• matplotlib
• chardet

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/file-analyzer.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd file-analyzer
   

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install matplotlib chardet
   

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python file_analyzer.py
   

2. Click the "Analyze File" button in the GUI.

3. Select the file you want to analyze.

4. Wait for the analysis to complete. A progress bar will show the current status.

5. Once complete, an HTML report will be generated in the same directory as the analyzed file.

Output

The HTML report includes:

• File metadata (name, size, SHA-256 hash)
• A histogram showing the distribution of string lengths
• The first 1000 extracted strings
• All detected HTTPS URLs
