Isn't there programs out there that does that ?
In order to do such a thing, you typically just open a program up, read it byte by byte, and then display the output in both hex and ascii.
Aren't all files hex files?
"hex" is just a way to represent the bits that make up the data in a file. For the computer, it's all numbers just the same and it's not interested in whether you see the numbers in decimals or hexadecimals. So, to search something "in hex mode", you just search for whatever numbers / position you're looking for.
I know what hex and binary etc is but i dont know what you can do exactly with an hex editor. Could some1 explain?
thx in adv
Basically, in a hex editor you see the numeric representation for each character, that would appear as text / other characters in a normal text editor. What you can do with it is change those numbers, and as far as hex editors go, that's it. Which numbers to change and to what depends on what you're trying to achieve, the structure in which the data is saved, and all that. If we're talking about modifying executable files with a hex editor, it allows that, but it will provide 0 help as to how to achieve your goal.
