Ghex: an amazing hex editor for your distro

ghex

ghex It is a GNOME hex editor, although it can be installed in other environments without any problem, you just need to satisfy the dependencies, in this case the libraries used and nothing else (and the package manager will take care of that for you). This is the next app in that series of articles that you already know that I am publishing in LxA to publicize certain programs that are not usually talked about so much, but that making them known can arouse interest in some users who did not know them ...

With GHex, users will be able to load data from any file, view and edit in hexadecimal and ASCII, analyze code for debugging, reverse engineering, etc. It can even be used for certain types of video game cheats or cheats, adding higher scores, unlocking certain resources, adding more lives, or getting new features. Even for other more malevolent purposes, who knows ... I mean, the applications are multiple.

If you wish to download and use this app, you can find it in the repos of your favorite distro, so you can install it easily with your package manager. It is also available in some app stores, to install in a single click graphically if you prefer. And if you want to download the source code to study it or just to compile from it, you can also find it here.

As you can see in the picture, the interface is quite simple and intuitive, so you shouldn't have a major problem using it. In addition, you can filter, it shows you data divided by columns with hexadecimal values ​​and the ASCII representation, and with the ability to work with raw data.

So with this I end today's presentation, although in a few hours be attentive, since I will publish another article with another little known app at LxA… The Lesser-Known Software Series Continues! I hope some of them help you.
