Which binary / hex editor for Puppy?
Which binary / hex editor for Puppy?
i'm looking for a binary/hex editor
tried hexedit, it's pretty primitive, the one screen at a time is a nuisance for my purposes, it works, but . . .
wishbinvu, library problems, ugh
ihex crashes continually
have not tried bless yet, getting tired
is there one out there that anyone has gotten working well? maybe one that displays hex as decimal to boot?
?
[edited to add that bvi was recommended to me, any comment on that?]

Bugman,
The name is the same 'hexedit', I'm confident the program is different than the one you are referring to.
Table of Contents
The manual I'd recommend saving to disk.
Hexedit also comes with an info page and man page.
Download it from here this server, and I recommend save the source, because it is not particularly easy to find.
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/editors/terminal/
Compiling.
Total files will be three: binary, info page and man page.
Complied size for all files is 236K.

muggins, lord of the pets!
libs you linked to work, wishbinvu works, much better than what i'd seen in other editors
am trying to work with the baseball simulator in my thread here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38487
all the stats are in bin, so babe ruth hit 3C home runs in 1927, which is why i wanted decimal viewing
will take a look at adie, saw a different post on it last night, was reaching my limits of endurance . . .

Bugman,
Now that you have achieved superior experience, help me please. Which one is the winner?
Bruce
PS with the new hexedit you have to use the buffer option to get some wanted features.
Here is the script I run it with

Code: Select all
/opt/bin/hexedit --buffer --alltext $@
thus we have proved that experience does NOT equal wisdomBruce B wrote:Now that you have achieved superior experience, help me please. Which one is the winner?
well, i have not done anything serious with any of them
adie is a nice little text editor, it SHOWS the binary info, but in an unusable manner, not sure what i'm not seeing here
hexedit is good, both versions do what they're supposed to
ihex still crashes within 15 seconds of opening the test file, there's a debug window, the message i think i always get is
Code: Select all
Assert failed, file: ../Lgi/src/common/Text/GTextView3.cpp, line: 1418
LGilsUtf8(s)
[/code]

bugman,
Another, non-console, hex editor is the Mickey hex editor.
An executable is downloadable from http://linux.softpedia.com . Look under category text editors. The file is
mickey-0.1.1.13linuxELFx86.tar.gz
It seems to work, though the site says not on very large files.

Hey, thanks! With Tcl and Tk 8.5.6 (which are built-in packages in the forthcoming Puppy 4.2), I was pretty sure you wouldn't have the library problems you had with the outdated 8.5 alphas; there were some important changes between the alphas and the official 8.5 releases. I just tried wishbinvu in Puppy 4.2 Alpha4 and it worked with no problem.bugman wrote:wishbinvu is great, does everything i need, the winner in my book

It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

minimatter, haven't looked at mickey yet, will if i can
david, thanks for the great app, saw the color changing but haven't played with it, i like the decimal viewing though!
attached is a screenshot with the official hexedit [black], newer hexedit [blue], i hex [white w/ debug window], wishbinvu [orange]
i keep calling it mahavishnu, crikey!

Cooledit is a nice binary editor:
http://cooledit.2038bug.com/
It includes a compiler interface, a python inetrpretor and a very nice man-page reader which I use. I used to use cooledit quite a lot, but I hardly do any binary editing anymore, so I stick to SciTE. But, I rolled the sources for the 'coolman' man-page reader together with the sources for a man-page search program to create one of the most recommended programs ever -called RTFM:

I like the bvi binary editor, easily built from source:
http://bvi.sourceforge.net/
This is a binary version of vi, so unless you are fond of vi and vim, it may not be to your taste.

possibly a bit late in the discussion
I've been working on a hex editor for a while since I wasn't happy with any of the ones I found. My favorite was bvi, since I'm a big vim user, but it lacked some features I needed (like editing huge files, for one).
I originally forked bvi to add some features, but very quickly scrapped that and rewrote everything from scratch. It is to the point now where I think it is ready for people to use it and give me some feedback.
So... If anyone is still shopping for a hex editor I would appreciate some feedback on mine.
http://bviplus.sourceforge.net/
Should compile for any linux with pthreads and ncurses (do any not have these libraries now?), including cygwin. Just unzip and run make.
If you're familiar with vim or bvi at all you should be able to jump right in. Documentation link is on the web site I linked or do ":help" from within the program.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
David

wxHexEditor
I am sad about no one offered wxHexEditor.
Features of wxHexEditor v0.20 Beta:
Features of wxHexEditor v0.20 Beta:
- It uses 64 bit file descriptors (supports files or devices up to 2^64 bytes , means some exabytes but tested only 1 PetaByte file (yet). ).
- It does NOT copy whole file to your RAM. That make it FAST and can open files (which sizes are Multi Giga < Tera < Peta < Exabytes)
- You can work with delete/insert bytes to file, more than once, without creating temp file!.
- Could open your devices on Linux, Windows or MacOSX.
- Memory Usage : Currently ~25 MegaBytes while opened multiple > ~8GB files.
- Could operate with file thru XOR encryption.
- Has multiple views to show multiple files in same time.
- Has x86 disassembly support (via integrated udis86 library) to hack things little faster.
- Has colourfull tags to make reverse engineering easier and more fun.
- You can copy/edit your Disks, HDD Sectors with it.( Usefull for rescue files/partitions by hand. )
- Sector Indication on Disk devices, also has Go to Sector dialog...
- Formated CopyAs! It's easy to copy part of a file in HEX format for C/C++ source, ASM source, also supports HTML,phpBB and Wiki page formats with TAGs!!
- Support Hex or Text editor alone operation.Also can disable Offset region.
- Compare binary files, allows merge of near results.
- Decimal, Hexadecimal, Octal and LBA ("Sector+Offset") addressing modes, (switchable one to another by right click of mouse on Offset panel.
- Save selection as a dump file feature for make life easier.
- "Find Some Bytes" feature for quickly find next meaningful bytes at file/Disk
- MD/RIPEMD/SHA/TIGER/HAVAL/CRC/ADLER/GOST/WHRILPOOL/SNEFRU checksum functions (via integrated mhash library.)
- Import & Export TAGs support from file.
- Written with C++/wxWidgets GUI libs and can be used with other OSes such as Mac OS, Windows as native application.
- Linux:Open Process RAM function. Will help you while debugging process memory.

Works like a charm on my Lupu-528.004.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
