I asked ChatGPT to visualize the File header of an EVTX file, but it seems it hasn't been visualized correctly. Can you parse it correctly on your end?
I had to refer to the following URL for the header definition and adjust the given HEX accordingly when communicating with ChatGPT.
Q.
Below is the definition of the EVTX file's File Header.
Offset,Size,Description
0,8,Signature
8,8,First chunk number
16,8,Last chunk number
24,8,Next record identifier
32,4,Header size
36,2,Minor format version
38,2,Major format version
40,2,Header block size
42,2,Number of chunks
44,76,Unknown (Empty values)
120,4,File flags
124,4,Checksum
The following HEX data represents the file header. Please visualize it in a human-readable format according to the definition of the file header.

Q.
Please explain in detail the definition of the Chunk header in an EVTX file.
Sure, here is a detailed explanation of the Chunk header in an EVTX file:
### EVTX Chunk Header Structure
Each EVTX file is divided into chunks, and each chunk begins with a header. The chunk header contains metadata about the chunk, such as the number of records it contains and checksums for integrity verification. Here is a detailed breakdown of the chunk header structure:
| Offset | Size | Description |
|--------|------|-----------------------------|
| 0 | 8 | Signature |
| 8 | 8 | First Event Record Number |
| 16 | 8 | Last Event Record Number |
| 24 | 8 | First Event Record Identifier |
| 32 | 8 | Last Event Record Identifier |
| 40 | 4 | Header Size |
| 44 | 4 | Last Event Record Data Size |
| 48 | 4 | Free Space Size |
| 52 | 4 | Event Records Checksum |
| 56 | 4 | Unknown |
| 60 | 4 | Header Checksum |### Detailed Description of Each Field
1. **Signature (Offset: 0, Size: 8 bytes)**:
- This is an identifier for the chunk. It typically contains a specific byte sequence (e.g., "ElfChnk" in ASCII) to indicate the start of a chunk.2. **First Event Record Number (Offset: 8, Size: 8 bytes)**:
- The number of the first event record within the chunk. It helps in identifying the range of records contained in the chunk.3. **Last Event Record Number (Offset: 16, Size: 8 bytes)**:
- The number of the last event record within the chunk. This complements the first record number to define the range of records in the chunk.4. **First Event Record Identifier (Offset: 24, Size: 8 bytes)**:
- The identifier of the first event record in the chunk. Identifiers are unique and help in referencing specific records.5. **Last Event Record Identifier (Offset: 32, Size: 8 bytes)**:
- The identifier of the last event record in the chunk. This works with the first record identifier to outline the span of records.6. **Header Size (Offset: 40, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- The size of the chunk header itself. This typically indicates the offset where the event records start within the chunk.7. **Last Event Record Data Size (Offset: 44, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- The size of the data of the last event record. This is useful for calculating the total size of event data in the chunk.8. **Free Space Size (Offset: 48, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- The amount of free space remaining in the chunk. This can be used to determine how much more data can be added to the chunk before it is full.9. **Event Records Checksum (Offset: 52, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- A checksum for the event records. This is used to verify the integrity of the records within the chunk.10. **Unknown (Offset: 56, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- This field is not well-documented and its purpose is unclear.11. **Header Checksum (Offset: 60, Size: 4 bytes)**:
- A checksum for the chunk header. This is used to verify the integrity of the header itself.### Visualizing the HEX Data of a Chunk Header
Given a chunk header HEX data, each field can be extracted and converted to a human-readable format. For example, with the provided HEX data:
```
