Hex Editor is used to analyze, view and run hexadecimal encoded files. Said files
are usually used for storing binary files that can be used by the computer.
A typical window of Hex Editor looks something like this. It has three areas which
are;
The address bar on the left
The hexadecimal display in the center
The right side with characters displayed
The hex editor displays raw data, it doesn’t require an interpreter to show the text
in an understandable way for the user. The byte form of every command is written
in the code stored in the hex file, which allows the physical location and memory
of objects to be seen when opened inside Hex Editor.
