Hex Editor

[Muhadeeb66]

FRHED is a pretty good and cheap hex editor. you can search(Google) for it

Notepad++ does this, and more. Menu Plugins -> Hex Editor.

I use "ICY Hexplorer". It can be found on SourceForge.net. I think it's pretty lightweight and useful, and its byte coloring features help me find text strings in heaps of binary data. It does seem to have trouble loading huge files though.

What? No mention of the one in Visual Studio? :)

That actually occurred to me first, but I wasn't the one needing the editor and that person doesn't have access to VS. My brother has a corrupted log file in Flight Simulator and wanted to debug it, which he was successful in doing.

I second Notepad++.

I think he needs a working one, not a marketing one :)

I used FRHED until about 5 minutes ago. Try opening a 1GB file in FRHED, then try it in HxD. Great tip, thanks!

I use Hexplorer too. I used to use Visual Studio's editor, but Hexplorer's syntax coloring provides a very useful way of looking for particular types of data (null padding, ascii text, etc.) I use Notepad++ for HTML, PHP, and CSS editing, but never liked the hex editor too much.

HxD is by far the best hex editor I have used in my 25 years of experience. Not only can it open files of any size almost immediately and allow the user to immediately jump to the end of the file and all points inbetween, HxD's alternative hex byte array and character string array selection tools work flawlessly. HxD has saved me untold hours of work!

Notepad ++ is great! I use it for everything. Fits on a flash drive nicely for the coder on the go. :-D

[adas_qualcomm]

I use Notepad++ as my primary editor and the Hex-Editor plugin. Love it!

PSpad works pretty well and is free.
