Lets see what we have until now.
lde - Works out of the box, a bit old and unmaintained but it will probably do the job. wxHexEditor - Very pretty gui and with some extra features I wanted but I can't compile or run the binary. okteta - Very pretty as well but other than some random crashes it can't work on destroyed ntfs filesystems. Shame. bpe - I compiled it and had a look. Seems alright, although I didn't try to load the disk in it to see if it supports it. hexedit - I just tried it and although it looks alright it can't load the disk. Thanks for the effort though barriehie. I will have to put some more testing into bpe to see if it can work with my disk. |

Hi guys,
wxHexEditor author here. Katto, Firstly I am sad about you can't compile the wxHexEditor. It's too simple. I couldn't believe that you cant compile it from source. Just install wxWidgets-devel (or libwxgtk-dev on ubuntu?) than enter the wxHexEditor source directory and "make" that's all! You don't needed to "configure" anything. You can also use "static binaries" at download area. They work even if you don't have wx libraries on your system. For open your hdd partitions, you needed to run wxhexeditor as a root or needed to give that partition to readable rights. Than you can open that partition. If you have any problems with wxHexEditor, I suggest you to fill tracker at source-forge. http://wxhexeditor.sf.net Quote:

I make wxHexEditor for myself for inspecting huge AVI files (to make avi repair/preview tool at www.divfix.org), than used for reverse engineering MKV structure on 4GB files... With it, I could make world first Matroska file repair tool, Meteorite ( http://meteorite.sf.net ). There is no similar tool before even on Windows. I believe it's wxHexEditor success. MKV structure/specs are open, doesn't needed to be reverse engineered. But when you add tags to mkv file locations and watch them how its working, you can imagine big picture in your brain and could easily produce program that fix problems... Without it, I definitely couldn’t make them. I also can't imagine trying to understand MKV structure with dd command and ghex :) Regards, Erdem. |
