Rehex is a cross-platform hex editor designed for reverse engineering binary files, with features like large file support, inline disassembly, binary templates, and Lua scripting. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and BSD.
Use cases
- inspect and edit binary files in hex
- reverse engineer file formats and firmware
- disassemble machine code inline
- compare two binary files side by side
- annotate byte ranges with comments and highlights
- decode integer and float values from raw bytes
- script binary analysis tasks with Lua
- apply binary templates to auto-annotate structures
When to choose
- you need a GUI hex editor for reverse engineering on Windows, Linux, or macOS
- you work with very large (1TB+) binary files
- you want binary templates, disassembly, and scripting in one tool
- you need Intel HEX import/export or checksumming
When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight CLI hex dump tool like xxd or hexdump
- you need a full disassembler/decompiler like Ghidra or IDA
- you require plugin ecosystems beyond Lua scripting
