How can I use HxD Hex Editor?

Hi everyone. I'd like to know how to use the HxD tool and understand hexadecimal numbers, etc., but I haven't found any courses online.

The tool only makes sense when you have a clue about the number systems and assemblers – and we know what you want to change. So that simply “replay” is meaningless, or hardly produces insights.

With an executable, it makes much more sense to get into a debugger instead of a HexEditor. Your ScreenShot indicates an executable or a database.

online ick no courses found

No wonder such a course would take only 10 minutes.

understand the numbers

Quite simply: an evaluation system with the base 16 (i.e.: 16 digits: 0.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F instead of the 10 digits at decimal).

Decimal (from right to left): One, ten, hundreds, …

Hexadecimal (from right to left): One, sixteen, fifty-two, …

Since the range 0 to 255 can be accurately covered with two hexadecimal digits, which is “probably” also the value range of a byte, the data are shown in most witch editors as groups of two digits each.

I want to know how to deal with the HxD tool

Simple:

  • You select a processing mode (“overwriting” = When tapping, existing values are overwritten and added only at the end; ” Insert” = When tapping, values are inserted at the current cursor position, basically as in a normal text editor).
  • You navigate to the place where you want to edit something (either scroll through, jump to the outset, or after text or text or Search Hex-String).
  • You process your data and save it.
  • Ready.

You should deal with the ASCII code and/or UTF-8 as well as with the conversion of hexadecimal numbers into decimal numbers.

Add-On:

When it comes to executable files, you should understand machine language and the conversion of assembler code and hex code. It’s not a walk.
