First it is not just for malware and cyber security. I have wrote firmware in
op codes using dump and a hex editor in the past. In fact my editor edits bin
files no problem. I guess I am just old in that I remember the days of Fortran
and bin editing to change the actual program. A lot of old Fortran didn’t
even have complete source and don’t get me started on a lot of old ASM. We
were lucky to get the source.

Subject: [program-l] Re: Do folks edit binary files?
Hex and binary editing does happen a lot in malware research and exploitation
development in the cybersecurity side of things, and I know very few tools that
do it well. In fact, I had not heard of frhed, will give that a look

Editing binary files is extremely uncommon for me, and VS works well
enough when I do. Usually for viewing I use the *nix hexdump -C in a
regular console, piped through less.

Hi,
Frhed is what I use. It's a little odd but once you get used to it you
can edit things pretty easily with it.
Cheers.

Out of curiosity, do folks find themselves needing to edit binary files
very often? If so, what tools do you use?
