Binary Viewer is a tool for binary file discovery using visualizations that may highlight patterns.

See the project Wiki for some examples.

Screenshot

Loosely based on Cantor.Dust, Binary Viewer was developed after seeing a demo of Cantor.Dust but receiving no response regarding availability.

Since Cantor.Dust was demoed, other tools with have similar functionality became available.

The beginnings of Cantor.Dust was Greg Conti's work https://github.com/rebelbot/binvis

Even earlier are dotplots for RE'ing, here Dan Kaminsky's Blackops talk

Qt5 is required to compile Binary Viewer. QDarkStyleSheet (MIT License, https://github.com/ColinDuquesnoy/QDarkStyleSheet/) provides the Qt dark theme.

Building on Windows

The easiest way to get binary_viewer to build on Windows is with CMake and vcpkg. With vcpkg you can install the dependencies in way that CMake can find then automatically. For example, if you're targeting Windows 64-bit this is the command you would use to install your dependencies:

vcpkg --triplet x64-windows install "@.vcpkg_requirements.txt"

QT5 takes some time to install. Once it is done, you can build using this command (update with your path to vcpkg.cmake):

mkdir build
pushd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=X:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
cmake --build .
