Installation
binocle is a graphical tool to visualize binary data. It colorizes bytes according to different rules and renders them as pixels in a rectangular grid. This allows users to identify interesting parts in large files and to reveal image-like regions.
Examples
| ELF binary | MS Teams memdump | Doom assets | perf record samples |
