HexWalk

HexWalk is a specialized app that addresses anyone whose job entails working with binary, then a hex editor can go a long way since it provides a straightforward way to manipulate and interpret the data. The tool integrates Binwalk, an open-source hex editor that provides extra analysis and extraction features.

The app comes with a modern, sleek interface, and you can get started by adding your file via drag and drop. The GUI displays the binary details of the file as well as a summary at the bottom where you can get an overview of Hex, Bin, Dec or Oct.

The app includes an advanced search function that can come in handy if you are looking for certain patterns based on hexadecimal, UTF16, UTF8 or other regular expressions. If you are looking for specific data or structures, the feature can save you a lot of time and energy. The app enables you to edit the data directly in the hex format, and you can check out the changes in real-time.

It is worth mentioning that the program enables you to perform the standard binary analysis as well as an entropic investigation. The binary analysis enables you to understand the inner workings of the file, including specific patterns or data types.

The entropic analysis is an advanced function that lets you figure out the level of randomness and predictability in a binary file. This in-depth examination enables you to identify compress and encrypted sections, as well as to detect anomalies.

HexWalk is an adaptable tool that caters to developers, security analysts, forensic investigators, embedded systems engineers, and researchers working with binary files. Its advanced features, such as hex file editing, pattern searching, entropy analysis, and hash calculation, make it valuable for analyzing, debugging, and understanding binary file content.
