This looks pretty neat. Would it be a good idea to develop a hex editor as a project? It doesn't look too hard for a simple one, but if one wants there is a lot of room for practice, like parsing all fileformats, from executionable image to doom wads too some proprietary file format, and I'm there is a lot room for tools that help RE too.
- gmiller123456 2y agoI remember reading something where the author said the first project they implement when trying to learn a new language is to implement a hex editor. Said it ticked a lot of boxes as far file handling, GUI, text layout, memory management, etc.
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoYeah it sounds like a plan. I'll try it out!
