C++ Weekly - Ep 446 - ImHex: An Awesome Hex Editor

I've seen this around and have been wanting to get started with this. Now i have to. It looks so cool and I bet I could help me a ton for my exception research. Great video Jason!

Concur, most awesome!

Nice program

Very cool! Makes me wish I had a file I needed to decode. Ok, not really, but a bit. Yes, more about cool tools like this, please.

Thank you Jason 👍🌞 I've been looking for good hex editor, will give it a Go. ...ymm, not that GO ...not that one from the search engine company, no. 🤣

Imhex is my favorite Hex editor by far because of how good it looks.

The dev behind ImHex is brilliant, there is so much cool stuff hidden within ImHex, it's one of the best open source projects I have ever seen

That looks like a tool that security forensic types would use, or spies.

Looks cool, but it crashes pretty quickly for me.

Wow, I did not know ImHex and I have actually been looking for a hex editor on Linux that does not suck. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Super cool tool..thanks for sharing, Jason. 🎉

Anyone know how to turn off zeros being a different color? GHex recently did the same and made it non-configurable. It's so distracting.

Good thing is good, this is just a comment to indicated that this got me to click pretty fast and I was not disappointed.

This is awesome, thank you

Last time I felt the need to hex edit was 1995 ... and the UI has not improved much since ;-)

If it's supposed to be pronounced according to the katakana, it's something like ee-moo hek-koo-soo.

Ironically the pronunciation is the very first thing under the title on the README 😆

I'm the maintainer of ghex, and I think imhex rocks!

Thanks for highlighting a tool like this!

Oh sweet I've never really found a hex editor I liked but this looks like it has everything I'd want, and it uses ImGui which I love 🙂

"do one thing and do it well". F that, Imma do everything!

damn! serendipity strikes again!

i was just looking for a new hex editor, and lamenting that nothing seemed to be the legacy child of copy ii plus

Awesome! Looks like IDA PRO but for binaries.

Looking at the first few slides, it looks like it has some kind of node-graph interpreter built in? That seems like it could be super useful for custom formats!

Thank you!

Oh, nice. A Hex editor that needs a GPU to run. What's next? A Notepad clone that needs a supercomputer?

I been using emacs hexl-mode and ghex. This looks a LOT nicer.

That's really interesting. I've been using 010 Hex Editor that have templates for many formats, and you can create your own. But it's a paid software. I'll definitly try this one out! I hope it let you define your own templates.

I'll probably never use it because it's rare these days that I should need to breakdown a random binary, but I say yes, show us any cool tool you come across that you think might be useful. There's likely something that I could use that I don't know about and others do, so bring them all out.

thank you for sharing! yes, I would like to see tool reviews/ recommendations more!

Love this intro to ImHex. You should definitely walk through more tools like this in future episodes.

Dang. Nifty. Finally a good tool for editing Atari TOS resource forks.

How difficult would this be to port to and use for AARM64 on RPi/MacOS/Linux/WindowsARM?

Like seeing C++ based tools. Tool looks fun.

"Im"Hex, oh yeah I recognized imgui... but then you mentioned it, lol... Well, great! seems like this would be cross-platform ... gonna go check if it is
