Hobbits is a multi-platform GUI application for analyzing, processing, and visualizing bitstreams.
It is designed to help users inspect machine-level data, build repeatable workflows, and extend the application through a plugin system. The project also includes a command line runner for executing plugins and saved batches without the graphical interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports plugin-driven workflows for displays, analyzers, operators, and import/export tools.
- Includes multiple data views such as binary, hex, ASCII, rasters, plots, and spectrograms.
- Offers analyzers for pattern finding, framing, highlighting, metadata editing, and Kaitai Struct-based parsing.
- Supports importing and exporting data through files, HTTP, TCP, hex strings, packet capture, and generated data sources.
- Lets users save repeatable processing pipelines as batches and run them later, including from the command line.
- Can be extended with plugins written in C++ or Python.
