Hexfiend (open source hex editor for mac) [0] and synalize it [1] (closed source hex editor for mac) both support a similar feature (hexfiend only in the newest github release) that shows the structure of known file formats similar to what wireshark [2] does for network packages. Thought about writing an hex editor or adding the hex fiend functionality to other hex editors based on the templates of hex fiend.

I love Hexfiend, so I was checking wireshark.org to see what you meant, since I don't use it nearly as much. First, Cloudshare is evaluating my browser to see if it's genuine access. Why? Second, scrolling the site uses 97% of my CPU. WTF is it doing? Some parallax effect on the shark, that could easily be done with a few lines of CSS? Lost interest at the spot. What have we turned the web into.

  Can't reproduce the problem on the site, but here > Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions. From the website. Btw wireshark is is one of the most useful tools for system administrators (especially in combination with tcpdump and ssh) and giving up on a project, because your browser bugs out is kind of bad form. You should at least take a look at it. Anyway hope you change your mind and have fun ;) some of my most interesting nights I have spent with wireshark

    Thanks. I know how awesome Wireshark is from the brief interactions I've had in the past. But their website experience the terrible. It's much more a critique of the state of the web than of the project itself. BTW, both behaviors (insane CPU usage while scrolling and Cloudflare checking) are reproducible in Safari, Chrome and Firefox, so it's not the browser that's bugging out, but the website scroll highjacking that's poorly written.
