Well I never knew that binary editor was there. I just tried it and it seems a
bit unclear. I am not seeing what I see in my other hex editor which is sets
of hex digits that I can edit like a text file for example in my editor I see:
4D 0E 4B … … … …
Etc…
In visual studio professional I see

The reason why I ask… there is a binary editor in Visual Studio, and I’m not
actually sure of the how accessible it is. Simply put, if it *IS* accessible,
then I’m not particularly concerned. If it’s not accessible, I’d love feedback
on the “Must fix” and “nice to haves”.
If we’re going to break into it to address accessibility issues, I’d like to
know what we could do with it.

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.
