Could you build this?
Partial While the web-based hex viewer and UI components can be built quickly, accurate client-side instruction set architecture (ISA) classification across diverse machine architectures requires specialized binary analysis heuristics or trained ML models compiled to WebAssembly.
What it would actually take: A browser-based binary inspection tool using TypeScript/React and WebAssembly (via Rust/C++) for parsing. The hard part is building robust ISA identification algorithms and entropy visualization (Hilbert curves, disassembly parsing) that run performantly entirely client-side without crashing memory on large binaries. It requires systems engineering knowledge, low-level binary format expertise (ELF/PE/Mach-O/raw firmware), and Wasm performance optimization.
