In addition to the knowing the offsets in the string table, actually reading the names would be helpful.

There would have to be several checks to keep it safe though.

The code is very wet (not DRY) currently and there is some major low hanging fruit to making it easier to work on and understand.

One such area would be making a rendering system so that each line doesn't have to compare to offset and possibly optimizing rendering.

Separating into separate files is also probably appropriate (also the project structure should get committed some time).

Currently the offsets and sizes of fields are hardcoded for 64 bit. Supporting 32 bit should be as simple as adding an extra if and adjusting some values.

j should be down instead of up, and k should be up instead of down.

Hello I currently run this on a 64-bit elf and notice that I can't navigate the file at all unless I hit '9' which allows me to traverse one character at a time. Seems not right

Also I don't get to see the whole file, just the beginning. Get this at the end of every file which doesn't seem correct:

Error parsing. Program header outside file.

Please assist. Thank you

Levels:

• delete and insert byte work at all
• updates offsets for headers correctly
• update sizes correctly
  • possibly update number of headers as well if size < 0
