It is possible to somehow programmatically export a file's digital certificate's subject if the certificate itself is not installed on the workstation but is only used to sign that specific file?
I need to somehow extract that information from a file and check if it's correct. Preferably using Python/CMD/PowerShell
EDIT:
Sorry for the lack of details.
I'm currently using this python script (which I modified to run on Python 3.6): http://www.zedwood.com/article/python-openssl-x509-parse-certificate to parse a .cer file that I extracted from the original executable file with this little tool I've found (which I also modified to work with Python 3): https://blog.didierstevens.com/programs/disitool/ but only after I convert it from a DER-encoded binary to a base-64 with the Windows certutil.
The problem with the disitool script, though, is that it literally CUTS a 'signature' bytearray from the executable itself using the pefile python module, which makes the extracted .cer file invalid, as per the python error that I keep getting when trying to load the certificate with the OpenSSL.crypto module:
[('asn1 encoding routines', 'asn1_check_tlen', 'wrong tag'), ('asn1 encoding routines', 'asn1_item_embed_d2i', 'nested asn1 error'), ('asn1 encoding routines', 'asn1_template_noexp_d2i', 'nested asn1 error'), ('PEM routines', 'PEM_ASN1_read_bio', 'ASN1 lib')]
But parsing a good extracted certificate (with the first script I posted above) works, as you can see here:
So, I just need a way to extract the certificate from an executable, I guess. Or, if you've found my solution too complicated, If you have any idea how I could get that "Redmond" text from the certificate's Subject field, I'm very open to ideas :)
