• HexWalk – Hex Editor/Viewer/Analyzer

  How does it compare to HxD? https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• 2 TB SSD turned to 1TB SSD by repair software, is there a way to get the files recovered?

  By the sound of what happened it's possible that all files residing in the last 1TB got TRIMMed (https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/trim/) by first aid. Can you check the corrupted videos with a hex editor (for example https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/) to see if they contain any information at all? If they got trimmed there will be large swathes of either 0xff or 0x00. Source: 4 months ago

• Bakugan Battle Brawlers Save File Editing Helper (Wii/PS3 and potentially other console versions)

  You don't need to know anything about Hex-Editing to use this. You are only required to know how to copy-paste. That being said, you will need a Hex-Editor program and to know your save-file's location. I personally use HxD: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/. Source: 10 months ago

• Visual Boy Advance Saving As 64KB Instead Of 128KB - Doesn't Work On Cartridge

  Also, notepad is only good for editing text, not binary files. You should use a hex editor. I personally use HxD. I also found this online hex editor called HexEd.it. Source: 10 months ago

• Can't leave, can't die.

  Anyway, due to the sheer size of the saves, I'd recommend using a hex editor like HxD rather than a text editor. Hex editors typically operate on just a small buffer at any given time, so opening and paging through the file is very fast. In theory, this might slow down full-file operations like a full text search, but in practice it doesn't seem to matter in this case. I opened a 100MB save that hasn't been... Source: 11 months ago

• I've figured out what 13 of the 16 enemy flags mean in Ultima V. Help me figure out the last three.

  I've got no experience with reverse-engineering executables, but I got a bunch of code-like stuff showing up when I fed ULTIMA.EXE to Ghidra and told it to analyze it with all the flags set. Source: 11 months ago

• Modding SH2

  The whole game is written in C++ (game logic intertwined with graphics). Ghidra can help you deconstruct the game binaries, but you need to put in a GREAT great effort to even get a starting point. Cheat Engine has been successful for some purposes, including an AI enabling utility for multiplayer (use with great care!). Source: 11 months ago

• You have probably heard of Temu right?

  What I think you’re talking about is reverse engineering. It’s basically taking a program and analysing the compiled code to attempt to find out how it works. It’s a fairly expansive topic, and fairly tricky to do but look at anything to do with Ghidra to get started. Source: 12 months ago

• Asking for clarification ... How is learning C beneficial for becoming a Cyber security expert

  Oh also just as an aside Ghidra is a really cool free tool developed by the NSA which can reverse engineer software by looking at its executable and recreating the C code from the instructions and static data within. It's another way to get familiarized with the relationship between C code and the instructions it compiles to. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Super Smash Bros. Melee HD Port Will "Never Happen," According to Former Nintendo Employees

  There exist decompilers and other tools for helping make sense of assembly and that can automate some of the conversion back to higher level languages. In my brief involvement with Slippi I used Ghidra - a tool developed by the NSA, to do some of that kind of work, which I found a little amusing. Source: about 1 year ago
