RE: Web-based ASN.1 decoding tool available

Hi,

Have you any free tools which are not the simple dump of asn1 DER/BER but which 
also can read a data according the 1988, 93 ASN.1 Syntax? 
Like default values from DER...

Peter

All,
 
We have recently made available a web-based tool for doing an ASN.1 dump.  It 
displays the ASCII HEX and the ASN structure, and when you hover over the 
structure, it highlights the relevant portion of the hex. (Clicking makes the 
highlight stick.)
 
Due to PHP’s inefficiency and memory usage during parsing, we have limited it 
to files 64K and smaller.  Still, it is useful for displaying smaller objects 
when you don’t have dumpasn1 installed or available.
 
It can be found here: http://geminisecurity.com/features-downloads/tools#fd_5
Click on “Click to try the application” under PHPdumpASN.

For Windows, you can also try BERViewer

<http://homepage.mac.com/aramperez/berviewer.html> . I haven’t had time to 
remove the nag dialog box from the Mac version.
