A hex editor for Windows, also called byte editor or binary editor, is a truly universal tool. No matter which application you used to create a file – hex editors show every bit and byte of it. Hex editors allow you to view and edit the uninterpreted contents of a file.
Binary Helper is a relatively simple.NET application which helps you convert to and from different number systems and ASCII characters; including binary, hexadecimal and decimal. It and the accompanying code/VS Solution is free for any use. Additionally Synalyze It! Is a full-featured Hex Editor for Mac OS X allowing you to edit files of unlimited size and interpret the bytes with dozens of text encodings. Essentially it ’ s a modeling tool for arbitrary file formats that is being used by software developers and data stream experts as well as in computer forensics.
What's a good hex editor/viewer for the Mac? I've used xxd for viewing hexdumps, and I think it can be used in reverse to make edits. But what I really want is a real hex editor.

I use Vim as a hex editor:
- Open the file in Vim.
Run the command
:% ! xxd
- Edit.
Once done, run
:% ! xxd -r
- Save.
- Open file with Xcode and press Command + Shift + J
- Right click file name inleft pane
- Open as -> Hex

Mike AkersMike AkersOn http://www.synalysis.net/ you can get the hex editor I'm developing for the Mac - Synalyze It!. It costs 7 € / 40 € (Pro version) and offers some extra features like histogram, incremental search, support of many text encodings and interactive definition of a 'grammar' for your file format.
The grammar helps to interpret the files and colors the hex view for easier analysis.
