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.

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.

A fast and clever open source hex editor. For Mac OS X. Insert, delete, rearrange. Hex Fiend does not limit you to in-place changes like some hex editors. Work with huge files. Hex Fiend can handle as big a file as you’re able to create. It’s been tested on files as large as 118 GB. Small footprint. A fast and clever open source hex editor. For Mac OS X.

I use Vim as a hex editor:

  1. Open the file in Vim.

  2. Run the command

    :% ! xxd

  3. Edit.

  4. Once done, run

    :% ! xxd -r

  5. Save.

On 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.

There are probably better options, but I use and kind of like TextWrangler for basic hex editing. File -> hex Dump File
