It’s also useful for defining data structures and carving them up, which (for me) is the role now filled by ImHex.
If HexFiend/xxd are at one end of the spectrum, ghidra at the other, I imagine ImHex and tools like Kaitai are in the middle
- nneonneo 2y agoHex Fiend does data structures and file formats now too, using parsers written in TCL. I’d probably rate Hex Fiend as being in the middle too, especially if you’re going to put xxd at the low end :) Personally, for file format parsing I like to use Hachoir (specifically Hachoir-wx for GUI file structure browsing), which is a somewhat obscure bit of software that I’ve made some contributions to.
- tsujamin 2y agoHuh interesting, thanks for the recs!
