ABSTRACT:
Identification of software configuration data. One or more binary files from a memory area in a computing device are identified. The binary files include information relating to execution of software. One or more strings from the identified binary files are extracted according to a rule. The rule defines requirements associated with the configuration data. A list of strings is generated from those extracted one or more strings, each of the strings in the generated list refers to configuration data in the memory area. The configuration data may be transferred to another machine, backed up, or used for informational purposes.
