binPipe
Binary visualisation tool
Requirements:
- make
- gcc
- opengl/glut
Compile and Run with: $ make run
or $ make runMac
For 2D mode use: $ make run2D
or $ make runMac2D
Write data to ./data
: eg. $ cat /dev/urandom > data
The purpose of this program is to create a 3D visualization of binary data.
The way it works is that reads chuncks of data from the ./data
file,
It then takes 3 bytes at a time and uses those 3 values as xyz coordinates.
It continues to scan the data 3 bytes at a time, mapping these coordinate to pixel colors in a volumetric image.
The result is an interesting visualization.
