Description : Fast Vim-inspired hex editor for the terminal
feature-rich terminal hex editor and viewer written in Rust.
dz6 combines the speed and efficiency of a terminal-based text user interface (TUI)
with Vim-inspired key bindings, making it a powerful tool for analyzing and editing
binary files directly from the command line.
.
Designed for performance, dz6 handles large files with ease. It offers a wide range
of features essential for reverse engineering, forensic analysis, and low-level data
manipulation, including:
.
- Navigation and editing in both hexadecimal and ASCII views.
- Vim-like key bindings for efficient navigation and editing.
- A powerful string list with regex filtering.
- Search functionality for strings and hex bytes.
- Ability to add comments and bookmarks, with an option to store them
in a separate database file (.dz6).
- Color-coded block marking.
- Parsing of PE and ELF file headers.
- A built-in 64-bit calculator.
- Configurable options and theme support (dark/light).
.
Despite the availability of other hex editors, dz6 stands out for its speed,
versatility, and modern feature set, all while being open-source and cross-platform.
It is already packaged for several other distributions (Arch Linux AUR, FreeBSD,
BigLinux) and operating systems (Windows via Winget, macOS via Homebrew),
demonstrating its maturity and demand.
.
Including dz6 in Debian would provide users with a modern, fast, and capable hex
editor that integrates seamlessly into the terminal workflow, benefiting developers,
security researchers, and system administrators who need to inspect or modify
binary data efficiently.
