BEYE, also known as Binary EYE, BIEW, Binary View is a multiplatform portable viewer of binary files with a built-in editor that functions in binary, hexadecimal, and disassembler modes. It uses native Intel syntax for disassembly. Features include AVR/Java/x86-i386-AMD64/ARM-XScale/PPC64 disassemblers, a Russian code pages converter, and a code navigator. It can also fully preview MZ, NE, PE, NLM, COFF32, and ELF formats, and partially preview a.out, LE and LX, and Phar Lap formats.

History

BEYE was developed as "biew",[1][2] in 1994 by Nickols "Nick"[3] Kurshev,[4] inspired by qview[5] and Hiew ,[6] and later, Andrew Golovnia,[7] and others. In February of 2010 the program was renamed to BEYE, even though poll votes were mostly against its rename.[6] BEYE's creators stated, that the previous name had some negative associations in English,[1] and the new one doesn't conflict with other projects.[8]

At that time, compilers were not able to create highly optimized executables, and CPUs were not as efficient, which caused many programmers to code in assembly language. Many countries, including Russia, had poor accessibility to the Internet, and it was problematic to find information about CPUs. Many programs produced errors, and it was too difficult to understand the source of the problems.

After spending a long time trying to understand the causes of the defects in his programs, the developer of BEYE coded their disassembler.[1] Perhaps the needs of the creator couldn't have been covered by existing disassemblers, and so he wrote his own.[1]

Initially, BEYE was closed-source, but friends helped to improve the project with new ideas and in some cases with new code. Later, after purchasing a modem, Kurshev and Golovnia decided to release the source[9] and publish BEYE on the Internet.

In 2000, the sources were published at SourceForge.[8]

Beye no longer works in Windows 7.[10]
