Binary To Image

Transform any binary file to a PNG image file.

Prerequisites

Python 3.6 or higher is needed.

Additionally, the library "Pillow" is needed. To install it, type:

$ pip3 install -r requirments.txt

Usage

$ bin2img.py <file or directory>

or

$ bin2img.py <input file or directory> <output file or directory>

If only a file is given, an image file named <file name>.png will be generated in the same directory as the file.

If the only argument is a directory, all the files in this directory will be transformed in a directory named <directory name>_images alongside the given input directory.

Behavior with two arguments is similar but with user determined output path.

Examples

Putty

Sysinternals Process Explorer

Notes

miku implemented a similar tool "binpic" inspired by this tool and implemented in the Go language
