@irene No, cannot treat a set of bits of arbitrary length that way. Some data appears to be less than 8 bits per grouping. Hence the need to be able to treat the bits as a stream of bits rather than making assumptions about how the data is organized.

Just one bit off.
Started working on a library to allow manipulation of bit sets. It will read in bits in 1 to 8 bit packets and tack them onto a structure that is represented by sequential bits. It will include ways to interpret the bits in 1 to 8 bits per mapping. Each mapping will be able to do logical operations on the bits. The whole point is to be able to take a stream of possibly malformed bits and try and make sense of them.
The inspiration for this is this sequence:

Yes, it is possible this data is utter bullshit, but I want the library all the same. I think it will be a fun one to write and use for digital forensics of arbitrary data.
