  • The supplied script takes a signed module file and extracts the tailmost
    signature (there could theoretically be more than one) and dumps all or
    part of it or the unsigned file to stdout.

    Call as:

    scripts/extract-module-sig.pl -[0adnks] module-file >out

    where the initial flag indicates which bit of the signed file you want dumping
    to stdout:

    (*) "-0". Dumps the unsigned data with the signature stripped.

    (*) "-a". Dumps all of the signature data, including the magic number.

    (*) "-d". Dumps the signature information block as a sequence of decimal
    numbers in text form with spaces between (crypto algorithm type,
    hash type, identifier type, signer's name length, key identifier
    length and signature length).

    (*) "-n". Dumps the signer's name contents.

    (*) "-k". Dumps the key identifier contents.

    (*) "-s". Dumps the cryptographic signature contents.

    In the case that the signature is a PKCS#7 (or CMS) message, -n and -k will
    print a warning to stderr and dump nothing to stdout, but will otherwise
    complete okay; the entire PKCS#7/CMS message will be dumped by "-s"; and "-d"
    will show "0 0 2 0 0 ".
