PROGRAM:

NAME


unber - ASN.1 BER Decoder

SYNOPSIS


unber [-1] [-iindent] [-m] [-p] [-sskip] [-thex-string] [-] [infile...]

DESCRIPTION


unber presents the internal structure of BER-encoded files as human readable text. A
single dash denotes the standard input.

(The DER and CER formats are subsets of the BER and are also supported.)

OPTIONS


-1 Do not attempt to read the next BER structure after the first one. This may be
useful if the input contains garbage past the single BER sequence. By default,
unber continues decoding until the end of file (input stream).

-i indent
Use the specified number of spaces for output indentation. Default is 4 spaces.

-m Generate shorter output while still preserving BER encoding information.

-p Do not attempt pretty-printing of known ASN.1 types (BOOLEAN, INTEGER, OBJECT
IDENTIFIER, etc). By default, some ASN.1 types are converted into the text
representation. This option is required for enber(1).

-s skip
Ignore the first skip bytes in the input stream; useful for stripping off lower
level protocol framing data.

-t hex-string
Interpret the hex-string as a sequence of hexadecimal values representing the start
of BER TLV encoding. Print the human readable explanation.

XML FORMAT


unber dumps the output in the regular XML format which preserves most of the information
from the underlying binary encoding.

The XML opening tag format is as follows:

<tform O="off" T="tag" TL="tl_len" V="{Indefinite|v_len}" [A="type"] [F]>

Where:

tform Encoding form the value is in: primitive ("P") or constructed ("C") or constructed
with indefinite length ("I")

off Offset of the encoded element in the unber input stream.

tag The tag class and value in human readable form.

tl_len The length of the TL (BER Tag and Length) encoding.

v_len The length of the value (V, encoded by the L), may be "Indefinite".

type Likely name of the underlying ASN.1 type (for UNIVERSAL tags).

[F] Indicates that the value was reformatted (pretty-printed). This will never appear
in the output produced using -p command line option.

Sample XML output:

<I O="0" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" TL="2" V="Indefinite" A="SEQUENCE">
<P O="2" T="[UNIVERSAL 19]" TL="2" V="2" A="PrintableString">US</P>
<C O="6" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" TL="2" V="6" A="SEQUENCE">
<P O="8" T="[UNIVERSAL 2]" TL="2" V="4" A="INTEGER" F>832970823</P>
</C O="14" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" A="SEQUENCE" L="8">
</I O="14" T="[UNIVERSAL 0]" TL="2" L="16">

EXAMPLES


Decode the given Tag/Length sequence specified in hexadecimal form:

unber -t "bf 20"

Decode the DER file using two-spaces indentation:

unber -i 2 filename.der

Decode the binary stream taken from the standard input:

cat ... | unber -

Decode the binary stream and encode it back into an identical stream (see enber(1)):

cat ... | unber -p - | enber - > filename.ber

FOOTNOTES


The constructed XML output is not necessarily well-formed.

When indefinite length encoding is being used, the BER sequence, which is not terminated
with the end-of-content octets, will cause the terminating </I> XML tag to disappear.
Thus, invalid BER framing directly causes invalid XML output.

The enber(1) utility understands such XML correctly.
