The concept of storage in Linux is a flat file space meaning a single sequence of 1's and 0's which may be organized any which way for a defined type standard. I was wondering how to open up any file as a binary so I could 'visualize' it in GIMP or Audacity to help aid analysis of things like heuristics or segmentations. I tried storing a different file as a bitmap and opening it but it failed, any ideas?
