Optionally list and search all diff; Very fast search; Use small amount of RAM; Do not create temporary files. So it used a very small amount of storage space; Dark or bright theme; Multilingual 15 languages; Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this software has both stronger security & stronger privacy.

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

I am not gonna say I used it a lot. But I follow it regularly. It's got good potential.

Good work, thanks. :)

It's cool!

Excellent :)

great helper

Que maravilhoso LIXO!!!!

It's is a nice Hex Editor, but I can't compile it on Windows error message: cd ./udis86; autogen.sh The system cannot find the path specified. makefile:67: recipe for target 'udis86/libudis86/.libs/libudis86.a' failed make: *** [udis86/libudis86/.libs/libudis86.a] Error 1 Possible to make it can compile on Windows? or possible to add some function to it? 1: Offset & Hex on the left of asm 2: use Relative Virtual Address on Goto function when edit .exe file. 3: asm to hex

Thank you author, world must love free, open-source software and stop pirating and cracking. Thank you to give us such a beautiful utility for free.

Even though it is still not quite finished, it is by far the best linux hex editor I've found.

That's fantastic! I'm sure wxHexEditor is the BEST hexadecimal editor. And it's open. Amazing.

Super Awesome, Its super helpful for doing reverse Engineering.!!

Works well.

Tried some hex/binary editor (under Ubuntu 12.10, 64-bit) HT Editor Compile the latest version. keyboard only (which is okay for engineer), but Alt-F is captured by Ubuntu system. (give up) jeex Unable to open big file (give up) okteta Copy in many different format which is good, set n-bytes to show in a row Search is a bit slow, it bases on KDE, installed many extra libraries, font too small and could not change (alternative) Bless Easy and very fast in search Convert selected byte(s) into 8-, 16-, 32- bits sign/unsigned value in big-, little-endian (good to engineer) Could not display 16 bytes in a row (wider to display 32 bytes) Could only copy HEX data, not the addr, text part (alternative --- use together with okteta) wxHexEditor Some power feature not tried yet (low level device modification, binary file match/un-match comparison, ...) Copy in many different formats (even for coding) Search is very fast (in text and binary) Has all the good features, meet all my usage requirements. (This is the choice)

Able to open 8Gb wide files ! Awesome capability, only found it on paid software and wxHexEditor, search are very fast, 2'30" for a text search in the 8Gb files. Nice and modern interface.

feature rich - super fast - it just works

Awesome and very useful project! Will definitely recommend it to use.

No clue if this will work or not, as I am having constant trouble and frustration with SourceForge itself--It keeps demanding I log in with my OpenID before posting a bug report or feature request, even thought the site says an OpenID is NOT required. wxHexEditor does appear to have much promise and potential, except for one major annoyance.. TAG tooltip flyovers. When you create a tag for a byte (or set of bytes), then move the mouse over the byte, the tag name instantly pops up as a tooltip/flyover.. Which wouldn't be so bad, except it's absolute, unconditional, and completely gets in the way of the mouse. In other words, when you try to go click on a byte to edit that has a tag, the tooltip pops up and blocks you from editing the byte. Worse, it stays right where it popped up. If you moved the mouse to the wrong spot, you cannot even move the mouse over a few pixels to click the byte; The tooltip completely blocks the byte and you have to move the mouse to some other tagged byte to make the tooltip move to that byte, then slowly navigate back to the byte you really want to edit, hoping the tooltip will popup slightly away from the byte you want to click. This makes the wxHexEditor almost unusable as an editor (It's less work to just use XVI or another editor without good tag/bookmark support). I have not tried wxHexEditor in linux as I already use KDE's Okteta for hex editing there.. (of course, if wxHexEditor implemented many of the options Okteta does.. hint-hint..)

Good and useful software

wxhexeditor have very great and nice interface!

Seems like the best open source hex editor for Windows as well.

Very good job, thank you so much for giving out

Simple, portable and useful. The interface is good and handy (except for non-standard "show only this/that/some panel" options instead of common "check-to-show"). The source code is not very good-looking to me (style and contains hard-coded numbers.. eww), but readable and extensible. Recommended for use!

Very good! thx!
