Indeed, this is specially true in the "bigrams" mode, where each point (X,Y) is set if the bytes X and Y (00..FF) appear in that order in the input. If you look at the bigrams example in the README, you can see that there is a bright zone where the lowercase ASCII characters are, since that graph is plotting the .rodata section of the binary (using the bin-graph-section.sh script). These patterns appear with other kinds of data, not just text (e.g. x86 instructions).
- hoosieree 2y agoHave you checked out this demo? https://youtu.be/C8--cXwuuFQ?list=PLUyyOw61zxiJXMihb4PjYbGHEgdGxMuY3&t=1527 https://youtu.be/C8--cXwuuFQ?list=PLUyyOw61zxiJXMihb4PjYbGHE... The 3d pan/tilt/zoom visualizations of the trigraphs are especially nice to look at.
