Zip archive read support? about pedump HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm just another user of pedump, but this doesn't seem like something that should be native to pedump, considering how trivial it is to process an archive.

The following code is (untested, and uncompiled even) a rough idea of how you would do this with an archive, checking for all *.dll, *.exe, and *.sys files within. You could also simply ignore the filename, and pass all the files to pedump (since you're talking about malicious artifacts which may not have correct naming), making sure you've got begin/rescue in place to handle pedump throwing an error.

Zip::InputStream.open("my.zip") do |io|
    while entry = io.get_next_entry
        if !entry.symlink? && entry.file? && entry.name ~= /\.(exe|dll|sys)$/
            # lib/pedump.rb may need extended to know about ZipInputStream, currently it 
            # knows only about String (open a file) and ::IO, 
            # However, it has a default fallback that may handle ZipInputStream
            PEdump.dump(entry.get_input_stream) 
        end
    end
end

I strongly agree with @CyberTech that zip file reading can and should be implemented outside of pedump.
