• Hexadecimal visualization. Displays raw file content in hex/ASCII format. Includes binary navigation and search functions.
• JSON processing. Interprets and formats structured data with indentation and syntax highlighting. Detects formatting errors in JSON documents.
• EXIF extraction. Reads image metadata including camera information, settings, and GPS coordinates. Supports JPEG, PNG, and TIFF formats.
• Entropy analysis. Calculates statistical byte distribution to detect patterns. Useful for identifying compressed or encrypted files.
• Byte histograms. Graphically represents the frequency of byte values in the file. Facilitates visual identification of binary signatures.
• Tabbed interface. Allows working with multiple files simultaneously in independent panels. Each tab maintains its analysis state.
• Drag-and-drop support. Supports loading files via drag-and-drop from the explorer. Streamlines workflow with direct operations.
• Report export. Saves analysis results in formats such as JSON, HTML, or plain text. Includes options to customize report content.
• Context menu integration. Adds the "Open with Infoscava" option to the Windows Explorer context menu. Allows starting analysis with a right-click.
• Plugin system. Extends capabilities through external modules. Supports integration with tools such as YARA, ExifTool, and CLI utilities.
• Advanced search engine. Locates patterns with multi-highlighting and navigation between matches. Implements regular expressions and live search.
• Standalone executable. Works without requiring Python or other external dependencies. Distributed as an independent package for Windows.

Infoscava was originally developed in 2022 using Python for the analysis core and web technologies for the graphical interface. It was later migrated to a standalone executable (.exe) format to simplify distribution. The project includes a standard Windows installation system with context menu integration. Active development continues with an emphasis on expanding analysis capabilities through the plugin system.
