hexamine

hexamine is a graphical viewer for binary files using SFML, Dear ImGui and ImPlot.

Features

• Binary file visualization
• Zoom and byte ordering options
• Autoupdate after file change (see Limitations)
• Textual byte and ASCII viewer
• Traverse file with mouse dragging

How to use

Download and run hexamine.exe from your command line. Pass the path to your binary file as the first argument:

.\hexamine.exe <path-to-bin>

Or simply open hexamine.exe and select your binary file using the file explorer.

Limitations

• The autoupdate interval is OS dependent as it checks for the last file change (1 second resolution on Windows)

hexamine's Issues

Autoupdate fails to recognize fast file changes

Autoupdate fails to recognize a change after multiple file changes in the same second.

Because of the Windows file change resolution of 1s two or more changes to the same file in the same second causes only the first change to be recognized.
