Hello HN!<p>This web app is a different take on the typical hex editor&#x2F;viewer tool. Using this graymap visualization you can easily get a quick overview over binary data and spot interesting structures.<p>One good example to try out is the Windows Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationTool21H2.exe). If you throw that in you&#x27;ll quickly see that almost half the data of the 18 MB executable consists of uncompressed bitmaps, which seems kinda wasteful.
