FlexHex is an awesome hex editor program specially designed to help you securely edit binary files, OLE compound files, logical devices, and physical drives. This is a well designed, rock solid piece of software, with tons of features and an excellent, easy to use interface.
Have been looking a long time for a decent hexadecimal editor? Whatever your editing needs are, you will find that Flex Hex continues to meet them. Flex Hex combines advanced binary editing with the ease and flexibility. This feature-rich hex and disk editor will save many hours of manual effort every month and easily pay for itself in the first month alone.
Use FlexHex for inspecting binary output, editing the raw data contents of a file or a disk, examining the structure of proprietary closed-format data files or old data in unknown formats, quick fixing executable or data files, creating binary files for test runs, copying and pasting a gigabyte large chunk of data, and more. These, and hundreds of similar tasks such as low-level disk imaging and cloning, will make this hex editor/viewer an invaluable tool in your toolbox.
Flex Hex provides a rich set of navigation and tracking functions for easily browsing binary data and viewing various data types. Bookmarks, the modified area list, the jump history, and other convenient tools make it a breeze to start inspecting binary files.
FlexHex provides an intuitive framework for editing operations covering all needs of a software developer. This powerful yet simple to understand program helps you create, modify, inspect, search and replace binary, ASCII, or Unicode data. Power users will appreciate being able to search for strings and GUIDs, compute checksums and browse COM classes.
FlexHex enables you to copy and paste a gigabyte large chunk of data in a split of a second. This is significantly faster than the competing hex editors.
Like any other hex and hdd disk editor, FlexHex lets you view, create and edit binary files on local disks, devices or network shares. Unlike other hex editors, FlexHEX provides full support for NTFS files which are based on a more complex model than FAT32 files. Specifically, FlexHEX supports sparse files and Alternate Data Streams of files on any NTFS volume. Now you can audit your files for the presence of Alternate Data Streams, and edit the hidden data which the other hex editors simply cannot see!
