> fuzzed data is hard to discriminate from valid data. Just in case it can be helpful... If it is about manually "parsing" descriptors to understand what is wrong by hands, then maybe Kaitai Struct parser generator can help. I understand it is probably not suited well for in-kernel binary parsing, but given a text-form description of a format, it can visualize parsed binary data as a hierarchical structure.
