Hi Lazyweb. I’m curious if a tool exists already to do something I have in mind..

Take an example of objdump -x on a file..

0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000040 2**2

I’m curious what strings are in that .rodata.str1.1 section vs the .rodata section. I’d really like a gtk UI that allows me to click that entry, and have it expand to show me what’s in there. The app could be extra smart and have knowledge about what to do for specific sections, (like passing .text to objdump -d). For sections it doesn’t grok, it could just print a hexdump.

Anything like this already exist?
