      Description     : Library for working with protobuf messages without a   
   protobuf type definition   
      
     Protobuf is a binary serialization format from Google which can be used as a   
     more efficient alternative to formats like JSON or XML. Developers can define   
     the message format in a .proto file and use the protobuf compiler to generate   
     message handlers in their language of choice. The protobuf encoding is   
   binary,   
     and unlike json/xml not human readable or easy to modify by hand. The format   
     also takes advantage of both sides having the message definition and strips   
   out   
     much of the type information. This is good for efficiency, but increases the   
     difficulty analyzing or modifying the network traffic.   
     .   
     Blackbox protobuf is designed to allow working with protocol buffers without   
     the message definition. It was originally implemented as a Burp extension for   
     decoding and modifying messages during mobile pentests, but has also been   
   used   
     for reverse engineering and forensics tooling.   
      
   The package is a dependency for new versions of the time-decode package.   
   I will maintain it under the Debian Python team salsa namespace.
