I haven't come across "Tango Storage Magic" before, but it sounds like a custom or obscure file format or utility that might involve media storage or video archiving. To analyze this .exe
file for any embedded data, you can try the following tools:
Binwalk: This tool can search for and extract embedded files within executables, such as videos or other data. It's useful for identifying files hidden inside the binary.
bashbinwalk filename.exe
strings: This can extract human-readable strings from the file. It might help uncover more clues about the file's format or contents.
bashstrings filename.exe
PE Tools: Use tools like pescan
or peframe
to analyze the structure of the executable and search for unusual or hidden sections.
bashpescan filename.exe
Hex Editors: You could open the file in a hex editor like GHex
or Bless
to manually inspect the file for embedded data such as video files or encoded information.
ExifTool: If the file does contain video or image data, ExifTool might be able to extract metadata about the media files embedded within the executable.
bashexiftool filename.exe
You might want to try these methods to get more information on the nature of the file.
File Description : Clip Player
File Version : 3.5.7.37
Internal Name : ClipPlayer.exe
Legal Copyright :
Original File Name : ClipPlayer.exe
Product Name : ClipCopy Player
Product Version : 3.5.7.37
Special Build : 2017081101
It seems the file is likely a proprietary video player (ClipCopy Player) built for viewing specific media formats or embedded videos, which could explain why the videos appear corrupt when run in Wine. Given this, it's possible the .exe
contains encoded or packaged video data that is meant to be played only through this custom player.
To extract or analyze the videos further, you might consider:
Wine Debugging: Run the .exe
under Wine with debug options to get more details about what it's trying to do and if there are specific calls related to video handling.
bashWINEDEBUG=+all wine ClipPlayer.exe
File Carving: Use a file carving tool like Foremost or Scalpel to attempt to recover video data that might be embedded within the .exe
.
bashforemost -i filename.exe -o output_folder
Analyze Dependencies: Use Dependency Walker (run through Wine) to see what libraries the program depends on. This might give you insights into how it handles media.
If these tools don't help, the executable might use some form of proprietary encryption or encoding for the media, requiring the original software environment to properly decode the files.
Yes, you can use 7z
from the terminal to extract the contents of the .exe
file. Here's how to do it:
Install p7zip
if it's not already installed:
On Debian/Ubuntu:
bashsudo apt-get install p7zip-full
On RHEL/CentOS:
bashsudo yum install p7zip
Once installed, you can try extracting the .exe
file as if it were a zip file using the following command:
bash7z x filename.exe
This will extract all the contents of the .exe
file into the current directory. You can then inspect the extracted files for the video data or any relevant media files.
The official GitHub repository for the 7-Zip project is located here:
https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip
This is the repo for the p7zip
version, which is the Linux and Unix port of the 7-Zip compression software.
