For some reason that blows my mind, but I actually have 0 understanding of what it actually representsI can understand your curiosity ! :D
Christopher Domas explains this concept very well during BlackHat 2012 and Derbycon 2012 :3
It's actually relatively easy to understand if you basically understand the concept of what is a file format and what is a byte.
If you've ever wondered if there is a universal way to represent data information without depending of its structure (in other words, treat a bitmap image the same way you tread a PDF file or any other format), or if you've already wondered if there was a way to represent data like this, then this video is for you <3
It's an fascinating world really <3 For instance, I can tell you the previous cube I've posted is a Windows executable delivred without compression, and I can see clearly an ASCII section (probably the symbols of the executable). It takes a couple of seconds to recognize with the 3D representation, but that would take me some minutes for the same work with standard format analyzers.
Oh well, as I said to Sumi, I could talk about this during hours. I better not flooding the forum with that :D
