debunk2 now writes vCard

Thursday, January 11th 2007
The debunk program is now able to export to properly encoded vCards (vcf files) -- an electronic business card. What does this mean? Well, importing into different email programs just got a lot easier, since the vCard format is more *suited for such things*. This is what it looks like now: debunk2-vCard It still doesn't install easily on Windows, which is a bummer. Get it here: code.google.com/p/debunk2

debunk2 -- nk2 reader

I've gone ahead and created a program to extract email addresses and names from Outlook's NK2 files. And what, exactly are NK2 files? It's the files that store Outlooks autocomplete data. From the project page: debunk2 Read MS Outlook autocomplete (NK2) files and extract email addresses
Microsoft Outlook stores its autocomplete email info in an undocumented file format. This project tries to unlock the information therein.
I've even had a go at documenting the file format. It's not pretty, it's not very accurate, but at least it does get to the important stuff inside of the file. And that's the purpose of reverse engineering, isn't it? Yea, I know, the name sucks.
