Hello all, I have been trying to find a way to ascertain that the contents of a file is a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure such as $ openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016 $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -i 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 978 cons: SEQUENCE 4:d=1 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :pkcs7-envelopedData 15:d=1 hl=4 l= 963 cons: cont [ 0 ] 19:d=2 hl=4 l= 959 cons: SEQUENCE 23:d=3 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :03 26:d=3 hl=3 l= 133 cons: SET 29:d=4 hl=3 l= 130 cons: cont [ 3 ] 32:d=5 hl=2 l= 1 prim: INTEGER :00 35:d=5 hl=2 l= 27 cons: cont [ 0 ] 37:d=6 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :PBKDF2 48:d=6 hl=2 l= 14 cons: SEQUENCE 50:d=7 hl=2 l= 8 prim: OCTET STRING [HEX DUMP]:64C8DCE92BE6CF80 60:d=7 hl=2 l= 2 prim: INTEGER :0800 64:d=5 hl=2 l= 46 cons: SEQUENCE 66:d=6 hl=2 l= 11 prim: OBJECT :id-alg-PWRI-KEK 79:d=6 hl=2 l= 31 cons: SEQUENCE 81:d=7 hl=2 l= 11 prim: OBJECT :camellia-256-cbc 94:d=7 hl=2 l= 16 prim: OCTET STRING [HEX DUMP]:DC131C842F099909DF465439C1B06038 112:d=5 hl=2 l= 48 prim: OCTET STRING [HEX DUMP]:7BEFFB307D05C8242A040B371EEA3C6F59F082C415057BF5A71F67437B92668CEED9C46B0F57B4E4A077B1651892D9D5 162:d=3 hl=4 l= 816 cons: SEQUENCE 166:d=4 hl=2 l= 9 prim: OBJECT :pkcs7-data 177:d=4 hl=2 l= 31 cons: SEQUENCE 179:d=5 hl=2 l= 11 prim: OBJECT :camellia-256-cbc 192:d=5 hl=2 l= 16 prim: OCTET STRING [HEX DUMP]:995169EEF15C876E5F1A92DAF6A129D7 210:d=4 hl=4 l= 768 prim: cont [ 0 ] Since the files to test are rather large, I'd be content with being able to have only the first couple of bytes inspected. It would appear that the -length option allows to do just that. However, whatever argument specified, I get this: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 4 Error in encoding 140548547200664:error:0D07207B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:header too long:asn1_lib.c:157: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 16 Error in encoding 140076397213336:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 32 Error in encoding 139879438956184:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 64 Error in encoding 139887577974424:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 128 Error in encoding 140008118994584:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 256 Error in encoding 140518349809304:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: $ openssl asn1parse -in ciphertext.der -inform DER -offset 0 -length 512 Error in encoding 140042967262872:error:0D07209B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_get_object:too long:asn1_lib.c:147: etcpp. The files to test are expected to be at least 512 bytes in size. What's the expected behaviour of the -length option, BTW?
