wxHexEditor's wiki page has been successfully installed.


I try to build a documentation here.

Tips

Offset Mode Change

You can change address mode between decimal, hexadecimal, octal or sector:decimal (only available on block devices) just by Right Clicking to offset area of the file

Right click to address area


Copy Offset Address

You don't need to select and copy address from offset panel. Just move your mouse to what address you want to copy and issue a Left Click. Value of the offset will be copied to system clipboard.


Copy Hex or Text

In wxHexEditor, active panel defines the copy format.

If Hex panel is active (have a cursor), copy function copies the selection as in hex format like 

74 65 73 74 66 69 6C 65 74 65 73 74 66 69 6C 65

If Text panel is active, than copy function copies the selection as in binary format, like 

testfiletestfile


Easy Block Selection

You want to select big blocks? You can start block/stop block feature for define blocks.

Press Left Click to move cursor to mark beginning offset -> Right Click -> Set Selection Block Start - > Left Click to move cursor to mark end offset -> Right Click -> Set Selection Block End

Features

Save as Dump

Do you need save a part of the file in binary? This feature for you.

Just select to blocks that you want to dump and

Right Click -> Save As Dump -> Select destination file -> Save

Fill Selection

With this feature, you can fill the selected area with any hex value that you want.


Delete and Injection Operations

wxHexEditor can delete and inject bytes into middle of the file, on the fly, without require of saving the file. Drawback of this feature is it cannot apply changes into file itself (yet). Instead, you have to use "Save As" function to save injected files.

Tools

TODO

Binary File Comparator

TODO PICTURE HERE

wxHexEditor could compare 2 files and show differences of them via adding TAGs. Only half million of differences are allowed.

  • Supported options are:
    • Search for different or same bytes.
    • Merge sections if close as X bytes.
    • Save results to file.
    • Connect files for scrolling.
      • This option open the files side by side and other file will follow your scroll if you change your view.

File Checksum Generator

TODO PICTURE HERE

wxHexEditor could generate checksums for defined files.

Also can generate multiple hash at one pass.

The mhash library is used for calculate the checksums.

  • Allowed checksum functions are:
    • MD2, MD4, MD5
    • SHA1 (SHA128), SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
    • RipeMD128, RipeMD160, RipeMD256, RipeMD320
    • HAVAL128, HAVAL160, HAVAL192, HAVAL224, HAVAL256
    • TIGER128, TIGER160, TIGER192
    • ADLER, CRC32, CRC32B, WHIRLPOOL, GOST, SNEFRU128, SNEFRU256

XOR ViewThru

TODO Do you want to edit a file that encrypted(!) with XOR? I do (At [SamyGO.tv Project]. Thanks to SAMSUNG's engineers for use this dummy encryption technique...) So wxHexEditor has a unique feature that, you can edit the files directly even if they encrypted with XOR.

Devices

TODO

Preferences

TODO ADD PICTURE OF PREFs.

wxHexEditor allows you to change:

  • Hex/Text foreground, background and zebra stripes colors.
  • Hex/Text selection foreground and background colors.
  • Language of wxHexEditor
  • Character encoding of the hex editor.
  • Character size of the hex editor.
  • Custom Hex Formatting
  • Bytes Per Line Limit


Multi Language Support

wxHexEditor supports localization.

Currently wxHexEditor translated to 12 languages:

  • Arabic
  • Czech
  • Chinese (China)
  • French
  • Dutch (Netherlands)
  • German
  • Italian
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish
  • Russian
  • Turkish

If you want to have wxHexEditor in your language, please send request to Transifex wxHexEditor page.

Character Encoding Support

wxHexEditor supports too many character encodings.

Note that, encodings that marked with star (*) will appear under Experimental Character Encoding family at wxHexEditor.

Because some part of the characters broke proper text show due has different character sizes or right to left texts.

Custom Hex Formating

wxHexEditor allows customized HEX formatting. You can have any (also weird) hex representation that you want to have.

For this, please use Preferences dialog and enable Custom Hex Formatting option.

Format is easy to understand. But there are some rules.

  • Rules of Custom Hex Formatting
    • Each x letter represent one HEX digit.
    • Each blank character represent one blank character HEX digits.
    • The custom hex format will repeat itself until hex area filled.
      • You can avoid repeating custom by using Byte Per Line Limit
    • If there are no space to complete next whole custom format, remaining area will not rendered.

In this dialog we defined 3 common hex representation. 

"xxxx "
"xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx  " (note that there is an extra blank at the end.)
"xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx  " (with an extra blank at the end also.)

But you can define your custom hex formatting, like: 

"xxx xxxx xxxxxx x  "

TODO PICTURE HERE

Note that, Custom Hex Formatting feature could/will lead wrong address representation at top bar, which is purely cosmetic error.

Custom Byte Per Line Limit

In normal operation, wxHexEditor adjust the byte count per line looking the window space dynamically.

But some users want to have exact byte count per line, like 16 or 32 generally.

With Byte Per Line Limit feature, you can define the maximum byte per Hex line.

wxHexEditor doesn't render more data for the line even there is a space for that and protect the data align.
