Build Status

What is hascar?

HASCAR is a free unzip utility for SAP's SAPCAR format.

It is implemented 100% in haskell, including the lzh decompression routine.

This is not yet in a stable state. It should successfully unpack lzh compressed files and uncompressed files.

The SAPCAR container format decoder is based on research done by Martin Gallo (https://github.com/CoreSecurity/pysap) with further investigation by Hans-Christian Esperer hc@hcesperer.org, who also did the LZH decompressor reimplementation.

What is supported:

  • Reading SAPCAR archives version 2.01 only
  • Unpacking files that are LZH compressed
  • Unpacking files that are not compressed

TODO:

  • Implement LZC
  • Implement packing functionality
  • Maybe implement signature checking
  • Make the LZH algorithm more efficient (the author just about started to learn haskell when he embarked on implementing that algorithm :-)

Installing hascar

To compile and install, first get stack ( http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/), then issue:

stack build && stack install

hascar will be installed to ~/.local/bin

Usage

Run hascar with the -h flag to get help. Basically, the usage should be the same as with SAP(R)'s sapcar tool.

Example run:

hc@espererh-pc ~/I/hascar λ hascar -xtvf /home/hc/test.sar
