# Binary Visualization

Binary Visualization based on Christopher Domas talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk

## Main Idea

- Scan the pairs of bytes of a file with a sliding window. (`AA BB CC DD ...` -> `(AA, BB) (BB, CC) (CC, DD) ...`);

- Interpret the pairs of bytes as coordinates on a 256x256 2D plain;

- Place a dot for each pair on the plain;

- The more frequent the dot, the brighter it is;

- Different patterns emerge depending on the type of the data of the file.

## Demo

### x86_64 ELF executables
