BioDiff: Compare binary files using alignment algorithms.

It looks interesting - note the skipped gaps in the compared displays!

@Ange thanks! this looks very useful, didn't know this kind of diffing was used in bioinformatics
@Ange This looks awesome, and is the solution to some problems that I've had in the past!
Thank you for sharing! 🙏✌️
@Ange Looks cool!
Available as package in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=biodiff) and on [FreeBSD](https://pkgs.org/search/?q=biodiff) for some reason.

Attached: 1 image Tip of the week #4: #malcat can compare 2 binaries using either a 1-to-1 algorithm or Myers's algorithm, a diff algorithm used in bioinformatics. The later can realign and spot added/substracted bytes. More info there: https://doc.malcat.fr/ui/files.html#compare-two-files #malware #dfir #reverseengineering
