Simple, fast implementation of LZW (Lempel–Ziv–Welch) data compression algorithm in C. - Console encoder/decoder tools - OS independent - Could be used in embedded projects - Works with raw code-stream LZW features: - Hardcoded dictionary size - Variable code size - Code search is performed by hash table and embedded in dictionary linked lists (encoder) - No dynamic memory allocation

This program is used as a tool to check for ASCII code and strip it out to a new file to recover documents that got corrupted or find hidden data in viruses that contain text by the virus writer or spies puting comments in images or other files.

...The main problem with LZO is that it is absolutely not human readable. People have done crazy stuff to get LZO to run in their language. Usually it implies inline assembly or trying to execute data which actually contains machine code. This is sick. Whoever is responsible for this sorry situation ought to be ashamed. So I'm going to deobfuscate LZO and provide a ISC implementation of this algorithm in Python and C. In addition, I will provide a textual description of the algorithm so that it can be easily ported to any programming language. I expect a severe performance degradation, but I leave optimizing for speed to other people.
