This article makes me wonder: what tools do you use when reversing a custom file format?
Personally, having done so recently to reverse a custom game archive format, I have only used the usual hexdump, strings, grep, sed, etc. I'm wondering if there are more powerful tools to do this kind of job?
- eXpl0it3r 4y agoYou usually want something for which you can define a structure and parse the file with it. There are a bunch of commercial and free tools, I've used the following with success in the past: - 010 Editor (commercial) - Kaitai Struct (free & open source) Also has the advantage of directly generating parsers from the defined structures.
