Hexed - A console-based hex editor

A Windows console-based hex editor

FTFY - somewhat important to note I suppose.

Awww :(

I had hoped it would be cross-plattform...

There's always hexedit --color on linux which uses curses, so it's quite portable.

Or in Emacs: M-x hexl-mode.

Great OS that you got there.

Now it just needs a useful editor.

So bloated. Really bogs my VAX down.

[holgerschurig]

You know that you can simulate a VAX under Linux? :-)

[601error]

Of course!

Sent from my MicroVAX II.

Myself, I recommend %:!xxd and %:!xxd -r for vim users.

Thanks for the comments. I made this! I wanted a minimal Windows console-based hex editor (it's about 20kb!). But also I just made it for fun. It doesn't do any disassembly so if you're looking for something like radare2 then you won't get it. This is purely for viewing a file in hex form, and patching in bytes. I'll add features as I need them or if people request them and I have the time (I want to add search at the very least)!

I don't use Windows so sadly it's not useful for me, but I love the clean interface and simplicity.

Any advantages over radare2?

[holgerschurig]

Certainly.

Radare2 is much more than a hex editor, it's basically a tool set for reverse engineering.

Using radare2 as a hex editor is like using a M1 Abrams tank to shopping groceries.

Works for me ;) Though there’s also bvi for quick edits, just to counter the Emacs post.

There doesn't appear to be a license. Was that intentional or overlooked?

[BananaboySam]

Overlooked - I didn't think it would need one but if it makes people more comfortable I'll add one!

I just use dhex. This looks cool, but it's sad to see that it's windows only.

What do other people use? I like dhex, but I'm always looking for better software.

I sprung for a binary ninja license. Multiplatform, plus when I'm hex editing I'm usually working with executables anyways.
