We will use a very simple Python script to validate encodings. You can find the script here: https://gist.github.com/marcinczenko/a87baf506bb0fd4bdff752cda4c685a1
|
||
|
||
Our input will be the following `data1M.bin.torrent.json` file:
|
||
|
||
```nim
|
||
{
|
||
"info": {
|
||
"length": 1048576,
|
||
"name": "data1M.bin",
|
||
"piece length": 262144,
|
||
"pieces": [
|
||
"111421FEBA308CD51E9ACF88417193A9EA60F0F84646",
|
||
"11143D4A8279853DA2DA355A574740217D446506E8EB",
|
||
"11141AD686B48B9560B15B8843FD00E7EC1B59624B09",
|
||
"11145015E7DA0C40350624C6B5A1FED1DB39720B726C"
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To *b-encode* we run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python bencoder.py --info-only data1M.bin.torrent.json
|
||
Using values from file: data1M.bin.torrent.json
|
||
Info only: True
|
||
{
|
||
"length": 1048576,
|
||
"name": "data1M.bin",
|
||
"piece length": 262144,
|
||
"pieces": [
|
||
"21FEBA308CD51E9ACF88417193A9EA60F0F84646",
|
||
"3D4A8279853DA2DA355A574740217D446506E8EB",
|
||
"1AD686B48B9560B15B8843FD00E7EC1B59624B09",
|
||
"5015E7DA0C40350624C6B5A1FED1DB39720B726C"
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
infohash f335440998515770adf47e8a4626889e59d91dde
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `--info-only` option instructs the script to only b-encode the info dictionary and do not include other attributes like `announce`.
|
||
|
||
We get as an output the `data1M.bin.torrent` file with the following content:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
d4:infod6:lengthi1048576e4:name10:data1M.bin12:piece lengthi262144e6:pieces80:!<21><>0<EFBFBD><30> <1E>ψAq<41><71><EFBFBD>`<EFBFBD><EFBFBD>FF=J<EFBFBD>y<EFBFBD>=<EFBFBD><EFBFBD>5ZWG@!}De<06><>ֆ<><D686><EFBFBD>`<EFBFBD>[<EFBFBD>C<EFBFBD> <00><>YbK P<15><> @5$Ƶ<><C6B5><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>9r rlee

It is not very readable, because pieces has been converted to hex strings to a flattened byte array - in the end this is supposed to be machine readable code. |
