Libs/tools to help reverse engineer custom binary file structs? #1
My ADHD combined with ignorance, and a pinch of arrogance makes RE'ing binary files a massively tedious process and I'm sure I am working harder instead of smarter.

For the most part I just use a combo of my own scripts, Cutter, and Kaitai Struct IDE to do this, but it gets super tedious mapping, referencing, testing, guessing, etc. So I'm wondering if there is anything libs or tools to help speed up the process.

What I'd love is something that reads the file bytes and at least takes a stab at guessing obvious types. Stuff like bytes that look like they could reasonably be timestamps, arrays, etc. I've written a few shitty tools to help with this but I end up wasting a bunch of time on my code and not the file. Ya know, why spend time doing the actual work when you can waste even more time writing something to automate it Wink
