Bytes Revealer is a powerful reverse engineering and binary analysis tool designed for security researchers, forensic analysts, and developers. With features like hex view, visual representation, string extraction, entropy calculation, and file signature detection, it helps users uncover hidden data inside files. Whether you are analyzing malware, debugging binaries, or investigating unknown file formats, Bytes Revealer makes it easy to explore, search, and extract valuable information from any binary file.

Bytes Revealer do NOT store any file or data. All analysis is performed in your browser.

Current Limitation: Files less than 50MB can perform all analysis, files bigger up to 1.5GB will only do Visual View and Hex View analysis.

# Build the applicationnpm run build# Preview production buildnpm run preview

Usage

1. File Upload
2. Click "Choose File" or drag and drop a file

3. Progress bar shows upload and analysis status

4. Analysis Views

5. Switch between views using the tab interface
6. Each view provides different analysis perspectives

7. Real-time updates as you navigate

8. Search Functions

9. Use the search bar for pattern matching
10. Toggle between hex and string search modes

11. Results are highlighted in the current view

12. String Analysis

13. View extracted strings with type and length
14. Filter strings by type or content
15. Sort by various criteria
16. Export results in multiple formats
