Recommended software: wxHexEditor, which is based on the GPL protocol and a hexadecimal editor. It supports underlying read/write of storage devices!

Speaking of the hexadecimal editing software, I have to mention UltraEdit first. This is a classic and typical representative of the hexadecimal field. It has powerful functions! However, in terms of storage device support and sector editing, WinHex is the most powerful! Unfortunately, both are shared software, not free, free, not open source!

Free of charge, it is famous for HxD, Hex-Ed, Hex Edit, MadEdit, 010 Editor, HEdit, etc. Unfortunately, these are not open source, and some are old and stop updating.

I have been using HxD for many years. The biggest advantage is that it is extremely fast and compact. It is okay to process dozens of GB of large files, and it is extremely fast to read and write the underlying disk, however, the update has been stopped for many years!

For people like me who have open-source and free software, I have always wanted to find a GPL-based hexadecimal editing software. However, I have not seen any suitable software over the years, wxHexEditor was noticed in, but the software has been in Alpha testing for a few years, with immature functions, many bugs, and imperfect.

Since last year, the software has entered the Beta stage. I tried to download the latest version 0.22Beta tonight. I felt that it was a lot more mature. Although I tried a bug at will, the functional direction was almost acceptable! In terms of functionality, this software may have the opportunity to become the strongest "cross-platform hexadecimal editing software under GPL protocol "!

I immediately searched the internet and did not mention this software, no matter how well-known software blogs, such as Jia soft ware, xiaozhong, and Yuanyuan, or other famous IT websites were used, we can only recommend it here!

To put it bluntly, wxHexEditor has the following advantages:

1. GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2) protocol, open source, Free Software, free of charge;

2. cross-platform support for Linux, Windows, and MacOSX;

3. Complete hexadecimal editing functions;

4. Supports the underlying read/write of physical storage, supports backup, recovery, and Erasure (root permission is required. Run as administrator in Windows 7 );

5. Support Common hash value verification algorithms and file comparison!

The disadvantage of wxHexEditor is that some details of the hexadecimal editing function need to be enhanced. The underlying editing function of the disk is still relatively weak. Do not compare it with WinHex, and HxD is not comparable; A small bug still exists. For example, if you enable the optical drive, an error will always be prompted if you do not have the optical drive. Although wxHexEditor supports multiple languages, it only supports languages in several European and American countries, with too few choices.

I have applied for the Chinese language on transifex tonight. I look forward to the early approval. I hope you will also go to the cooperative translation service when you are free.
