Hex Editor

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.

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

Does anyone know of a good freeware editor for binary files for Windows? I used to use HexEdit on the Mac, but I am not sure if there is something similar for Windows.

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 "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.

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!

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

PSpad works pretty well and is free.

I post this in good faith that it would help someone, and I get voted down. I will never understand the rationale behind it…

Teh greatness! To try it out I opened Visual Studio 2005 DVD's ISO, it's 3,53 GB, it took it like one second, two, tops, to open it, and I could scroll all the way down with no delay and no lag! HxD is wonderful!
