  Description     : Reverse Engineers' Hex Editor


Hex editor for reverse engineering, and everything else.
Features:
  - Large (1TB+) file support
  - Decoding of integer/floating point value types
  - Inline disassembly of machine code
  - Highlighting and annotation of ranges of bytes
  - Side by side comparision of whole files or selections
  - Lua scripting support
  - Virtual address mapping support
  - Support for common text encodings (ASCII, Unicode, ISO-8859-X, etc)
  - Import and export of Intel HEX files.
  - Bitmap data visualisation.
  - Binary Templates for automatically annotating data (similar to 010 
Editor).
  - Bit editing/manipulation.
  - Checksumming of files/selections.

Several features more useful than existing GUI hex editors like 
recognising object strings, disassembling x86 instructions and a 
side-by-side hex diff view.
GUI uses wxWidgets and it has a lua-based plugin framework.

I will be submitting this through an RFS on mentors.
