What Hextor is

Hextor is a free hexadecimal editor and binary data analysis toolkit for Windows. It can display data as text, hexadecimal, integer, and floating-point values, and interpret or edit data using C-like structure descriptions. Search and replace supports text, hex, and Unicode, including wildcards and value search; binary comparison detects insertions and deletions. Hextor can also view and edit logical volumes, physical disks, and process memory. Its analysis tools include bitmap viewing, MD, SHA, and CRC hash calculation, and a disassembler using the Zydis library. Scripting is supported through IActiveScript. Version 0.15 adds partial view-only support for Intel HEX files and search with an unknown half-byte. The license permits personal and commercial use at no cost, while source code is available for review only. The project advises caution and backups when using the tool. It is provided without warranty, and the author disclaims liability for damage arising from use.
