Hex editor recommendations? (Windows)
So out of the three editors I have used by now (under Windows), 010
http://www.sweetscape.com/010editor/ is the only one I'm really happy with -- my trial will run out soon though, and now I'd like to decide whether to buy it or not. I would prefer a free alternative (both as in beer and in software), if there is one that is on par.
The ones that I already know are:
HexEdit:
http://www.hexedit.com/ -- drives me up the wall with its inability to copy as hex by default and to remember that i do not have a 72ppi screen
HxD:
https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ -- Does not have batch search/replace which makes it a bit useless for me
I also briefly looked at the Notepad++ hex editor plugin but that was more confusing than useful.
Before I go test the
other 3729 hex editors on the planet, does anyone have recommendations? It would be pretty important that it can deal with the EA templates in a reasonable fashion. And be able to remember my settings for font sizes etc, and not have me mouse through a menu more often than absolutely necessary.
