osslsigncode is a small tool that implements part of the functionality of the Microsoft
tool signtool.exe - more exactly the Authenticode signing and timestamping.
It can sign and timestamp PE (EXE/SYS/DLL/etc), CAB, CAT, MSI and APPX files,
as well as script files with extensions .ps1, .ps1xml, .psc1, .psd1,
.psm1, .cdxml, .mof and .js,
supports getting the timestamp through a proxy as well.
osslsigncode also supports signature verification, removal and extraction.
--version | -v = print osslsigncode version and usage
--help = print osslsigncode help menu
Commands:
add = add an unauthenticated blob or a timestamp to a previously-signed file
attach-signature = sign file using a given signature
extract-signature = extract signature from a previously-signed file
extract-data = extract a data content to be signed
remove-signature = remove sections of the embedded signature on a file
sign = digitally sign a file
verify = verifies the digital signature of a file
