Helpful binary viewer, binary diff viewer?

[anjackson]

Help users get started understanding binary data, e.g. perhaps for understanding how different different disk images are?!

• Binary viewer, and binary diff viewer, e.g. https://github.com/cortesi/scurve#readme
• Possible analysis or visualisation via techniques like anjackson/strender#2
• 'Getting started' guides for things like https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk or https://github.com/trailofbits/polyfile (and Kaitai) or https://www.synalysis.net/ (and it's grammars) or https://hexfiend.com/ (and it's templates)

As raised in a PR-SIG, this could also help with the general identification types of content, like 'this looks texty' versus 'ugh, that's high entropy'.

Maybe there are good ideas in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Reverse_Engineering/File_Formats ?

Maybe scanning for repeats would help?
