About:
Vbindiff is a console-based visual comparison tool for binary files. It displays two files side-by-side, highlighting byte-level differences in hexadecimal and ASCII formats. This allows users to quickly identify and analyze discrepancies in compiled code, disk images, or any raw data.

Key Features:

Side-by-side hexadecimal and ASCII display
Interactive navigation and editing capabilities
Supports large files via memory-mapped I/O
Console-based interface for remote use

Use Cases:

Analyzing differences between compiled binary versions
Inspecting raw disk or memory dumps
Debugging binary protocol implementations

Alternatives:

hexdump – Standard utility for hex viewing, lacks visual diffing
cmp – Reports byte differences but without visual interface
xxd – Hex dumper, often used in combination with diff tools
