Next time you find yourself reverse engineering a weird protocol - use ImHex. You can literally define patterns (in a C++ / Rust -like language) so that your binary file gets highlighted and processed.

I can't recommend it enough - it's perfect for the job and it's free and Open Source.

Just coming here to say this. I was reversing a license file for some software so I could play with it yesterday, and I could implement the encryption/decryption code direct in the data processor of imhex, such a time saver.

I have never heard of ImHex before. Thanks, I'll take a look!
