Visualizing binaries with space-filling curves
Why, hello there Hacker News. Just a note that I've written two follow-on blog posts after this one, developing the idea a bit further.First, using a color function that encodes local entropy to show how crypto keys and other high-entropy data can be picked straight out of a visualization:http://corte.si/posts/visualisation/entropy/index.htmlAnd next, using this in bulk on samples from a malware database, with what I think are beautiful and interesting results:http://corte.si/posts/visualisation/malware/index.html
