Other

  • Binwalk - Detects signatures, unpacks archives, visualizes entropy.
  • Veles - a visualizer for statistical properties of blobs.
  • Kaitai Struct - a DSL for creating parsers in a variety of programming languages. The Web IDE is particulary useful fir reverse-engineering.
  • Protobuf inspector
  • DarunGrim - executable differ.
  • DBeaver - a DB editor.
