Description

Views and edits files in hexadecimal or ASCII form. This gives users direct control over the bytes inside a file, which is useful when normal text editors are not appropriate.

It is useful for binary patches, format inspection, recovery work, debugging, and low-level learning. Work on copies of important files, because changing bytes directly can corrupt data or make programs reject the file.

How to run
