ImHex

“A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.”

I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasn’t valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful!

Project mention: I feel like I'm stuck | /r/C_Programming | 2023-05-23

You might ask what Job or what project. The answer depends on what you want to learn/do (as mentioned it codependent). If you want to know how the execution of a Programm happens in detail and how it can be manipulated during runtime you can dive into DynamoRIO (https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio). There, you can also learn a lot about instruction set architectures.

OOAnalyzer is wonderful for recovering class/function information C++ that makes manual vtable/RTTI perusing relatively moot. I ultimately installed it along with the rest of Pharos on Linux and it was a couple days of figuring before I got things running.

• [Media] I'm currently learning Rust. Out of curiosity, I opened the resulting binary as a text file, and among the garbled text characters, I saw this weird text. Is this normal or is there something wrong with the compiled binary? It's the "Hello, World!" sample program and it executes normally.
