Open Source Linux Hex Editors

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VSCode. Please note that some Visual Studio Code extensions have licenses that restrict their use to the official Visual Studio Code builds and therefore do not work with VSCodium.

wxHexEditor is another Hex Editor, build because of there is no good hex editor for Linux system, specially for big files. It supports files up to 2^64 bytes. Written with C++/wxWidgets GUI libs and can be used with other OS'es such Windows, Mac OS

hexcompare is a curses-based utility to compare and identify differences between two binary files. These differences are then represented visually with an interactive block diagram.

The bvi is a display-oriented editor for binary files (hex-editor), based on the vi texteditor. If you are familiar with vi, just start the editor and begin to edit! A bmore programm is also included in the package.

Free and open source hex editor written in Java. This is standalone desktop app, library for Java applications as well as variants for Java IDEs are also available.

Compile Elixir applications into single, easily distributed executable binaries. Bakeware extends Mix releases with the ability to turn Elixir projects into single binaries that can be copied and directly run. No need to install Erlang or untar files. The binaries look and feel like the build-products from other languages. Since everything was written quickly and the integration is fairly straightforward, we recommend that you take a look at the examples. The examples are bare bones Elixir scripts, OTP applications, Phoenix applications and more with small changes to their mix.exs files and instructions for running that you can try out for yourself. Assemble the necessary components to create a Bakeware executable that can be distributed across machines to run the script/application without extra environment setup (such as installing Elixir/Erlang, etc).

Ncurses based hex editor with vi/vim-like interface. Features include large file support, search highlight, multiple undo/redo, visual select, cut/paste, blob coloring, file tabs, and much more.

A clone of the "binhack" program made by Echelon used to hack LBA references in Sega Dreamcast Katana executables. Some features are added on top of the original ones; namely patching the bootsector to enable the VGA flag and setting the OS flag to 0 if a "bincon"-ed binary (boot.bin) is detected. The purpose of this project is to replace the original Echelon's "binhack" utility on systems that don't support 16-bits x86 binaries (e.g. Windows 7 x64).

Hexed is a cross platform, console hexadecimal file editor. It's designed to be used in scripts and makefiles with options set via arguments. Hexed has a few simple commands with the ability to perform multiple actions from a single command statement. You can enter a range of data, delete a block and move another block all from one command line. It has support for word sizes of 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit both for displaying and editing data.

Need to create binary files with data for Your program, game etc.? Tired of using hex-editor and editing the file manually with the risk of structure-mismatches? Too lazy to reedit complete file after changing structure members order or size? "data2bin" is a utility that takes: 1. Your structures description (you can use integers of different sizes and endiannesses, null-terminated text strings, fixed-size binary strings, structures, arrays...) 2. Your data in a XML file written down according to defined structure. ... and produces final binary file. It is able to pad Your strings with defined padding, check Your integers' sizes, it can fill default values where You didn't supply data, it can also, for example, put a "blank" array member at the end of an array etc. Whenever You change your structure in Your code, just update the data-description file and "rebuild" Your binary files without touching XML data files!

HexEditor is is a small, fast and simple hex editor.. It uses reusable contol HexBox2 hex editing features. Based on HexBox-1.6.0 . This C# control is reusable for every .NET Framework application. Translator and programmer support welcome New Version ( 2.0.1) New Features: HexBox2 Added fill and insert bytes method. It is possible insert byte patterns or text patterns. Hexeditor2 uses this feature with fill and insert menus HexBox2 added Save as method. So can save changes to another file. Hexeditor2 uses this feature with Save as... menu item. TODO Undo and redo features will add to Hexbox2.

This project is no longer supported. Use it on your own risk (or not use at all). Microhex is an intuitive HEX editing application that enables you to view and manipulate binary data for any file in your computer. Microhex displays the integer column and the characters column, allowing you to add new columns and delete existing ones. Each column can be assigned an unlimited number of linked address bars.

This project is about creating a program that allow to view binary code and to create structure out of it. The main purpose is to make it easier to reverse engineer binary file.

Minihex is a minimal hex editor written for POSIX environment. It's written for terminals, so it can run without X11. To edit a file, just invoke `ihex <your_file_name>` and a powerful hex editor is right there on your terminal.

BinCoMerge is a binary files diff at byte resolution. It shows hexadecimal and raw ASCII data. BinCoMerge is seeking for common blocks from the bigger ones to the lower ones. It works by levels of minimum block sizes which are powers of 2. For example, with a file sizing between 16 KiB and 32 KiB, Bincomerge will firstly seek for all common blocks bigger than 16 KiB. Then, it will seek for all common bigger than 8 KiB, then 4KiB, 2KiB, 1024 Bytes... Because it works by levels, BinCoMerge can show some results before it finishes.

Farben is a Java-based universal binary file reader and writer. Easily view binary files hierarchically. Edit embedded file metadata in a variety of formats. Identify orphaned files. A wide variety of file formats will be included.

Command-line tool to examine or edit bytes in hex, octal, binary, or in packet capture (pcap) dumps. Exd is intended to be used in conjunction with hex dump tools such as xxd, od, hexdump, or hd, and with packet capture dump tools such as tshark and text2pcap. --- metadata tags byte hex octal binary pcap packet packet dump hexdump

Klang is a project that allows viewing and editing of binary files in a structured way. Unlike traditional hex editors, Klang provides a hierarchical view of many binary file types that can be 'chunked', such as WAV and AIFF.

Acid is a module and a simple application for displaying content of binary data files. It relies on plugins for parsing file formats.

BinGrok is a hex editor designed specifically to aid in reverse engineering of binary formats. Development moved to GitHub at https://github.com/spuriousdata/BinGrok

Binaly is a binary/hex editor which shows the whole file on a colorful strip. It subdivides the file into blocks of 1 Kib (1024 Bytes) and analyses them. It knows the following kinds of data sections: - Random binary data: The byte's average value is in [108, 148] and the standard deviation is in [60, 68]. - Text data: The average value is > 64 and the std. dev. < 40. - Homogeneous data: The std. dev. is < 2. - Other data section: The block doesn't fit into any of the categories above. This is very useful to get a quick overview over the file and its content.

A stream editor that can be invoked by another java program or also the command line. It can handle binary data too. Unlike newline based programs like sed, it allows different ways of reading the stream through the traverser, buffer and commands interfaces. A traverser decides how the data is read. This data is stored in the buffer. The commands decide what to do with this data. All data is handled as characters, by specifying an encoding. For binary data, the encoding ISO-8859-1 is used by default, has 256 single-byte characters. Data in the buffer is available as a charsequence to the commands for stuff like regex matching etc. The output can be redirected to a file, and an output encoding can be specified.The commands can also store/retrive arbitrary data for later use in a map. Evaluation of expressions in commands is done using Apache Jexl, and custom functions can also be used. Sample java usage and sample command line usage examples are included.

WeLees BluePrint(hereafter referred to as WBP) is a hexadecimal editor based on a Web front-end. Its back-end works on Windows, Linux and OSX platforms, and the Web-based front-end runs on any browser. Users can start the back-end of WBP on PC/server/NAS/smart device(hereinafter referred to as the host) which has network connection, and perform graphical editing & analysis on data of the host in a browser on any other machine regardless of whether the host has local graphics module or not. Of course, you can also operate directly on host which has local graphics module.

In this work, we develop novel disk characterization suite, DIG(Disk Geometry Analyzer), which allows us to rapidly extract and to characterize the key performance metric of modern hard disk drive.

ELF Workbench is a program intended for analyzing/inspecting ELF object files that also allows to patch them. It provides an interactive user interface similar to that used by GDB. See feature list below for more details.
