Ask HN: What software do you use to examine binary files?
There are a few hex/disk editors that support "templates" (but you need most times to create those yourself).
Here is a sort of "curated list" of related tools:
https://github.com/dloss/binary-parsing
The most complete/populated I know of is Kaitai:
http://kaitai.io/
http://formats.kaitai.io/
that you can use with Hiew with Kiewtai
https://github.com/taviso/kiewtai
If the question is slightly different, i.e. which bytes are used to identify a given file format, there is Trid:
https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html
Which has also a database of known headers/patterns.

Reverse-engineering an encrypted IoT protocol
Hey! fq author here. I have a bunch of related tools in the readme https://github.com/wader/fq?tab=readme-ov-file#tools two suggestions: gnu poke and wireshark (can decode lots of more things then just network protocol)

To a Man with `Jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON
Did someone say let's represent structured data as json? a bit of shameless plug: https://github.com/wader/fq :) It's using a fork of gojq btw!

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
https://github.com/wader/fq has a REPL and can read JSON. Tip is to use "paste | from_json | repl" in a REPl to paste JSON into a sub-REPL, you can also use `` with fq which is a raw string literal

jq 1.7 Released
I do lots of exploratory work in various structure data, in my case often debugging media filea via https://github.com/wader/fq, which mean doing lots of use-once-queries on the command line or REPL. In those cases jq line-friendly and composable syntax and generators really shine.
- fq (jq for binary formats) has a new v0.7.0 version
