Free software hex editor
I have noticed that my free software hex editor (hexxed) – which is licensed under the GNU GPL – does not really come up in any searches, so here’s another entry to boost it. It’s a bit crude, but it does some things well (e.g., display unicode and switch endianness) and it will run anywhere…

Adding vi-like functionality to Hexxed
I have decided that I will model the keyboard interface for Hexxed on vi. I know that is not what many/any coming from outside the Unix world will expect, but then there are plenty of Hex editors out there and I want to make one that will appeal to at least one niche. As I…

It being a Bank Holiday in the UK I have spent a little more time on Hexxed, the hex editor I foolishly challenged myself to write a while back. As the screenshot shows it is starting to look like it might one day be useful.
