When I digged deeper and checked what the applications are really able to accomplish, only these products remained in my list (all on Windows only):Īdditionally should be mentioned DataWorkshop which has some nice ideas but is completely outdated - not able to open and process large files and not really intuitive to use. If you're searching for a tool that disassembles machine code, this page is probably not for you while some of the applications do support this. Since ordinary hex editing is not what I was looking for, I concentrated on the hex editors with 'file structure view' (see second table on the Wikipedia page). In the English Wikipedia, there is a useful Comparison of Hex Editors. Even now there is no such comparable with what can be found on Windows. When I started developing on the Mac, I was of course in the need of a capable hex editor.
