-----------------------------------------------------------------[ 0. Welcome ]- Thank you for downloading dhex 0.67. It is a hex editor with a diff mode. Since it is based on ncurses, it runs in any console. It makes heavy use of colors, but it is themeable to run on monochrome-displays as well. If you have any questions, or found any bugs, please do not hesitate to contact me under dettus@dettus.net. Be sure to include "DHEX" somewhere in the subject. Thomas Dettbarn, 30-Dec-2010 0.60: Initial release 0.61: Some code cleanup, rudementary manual correlation is possible through commandline parameters 0.62: Code cleanup, bug fixes, and as new features: bookmarks and ascii-search. 0.63: Man pages were written, searching is possible from the command line. 0.64: Naive correlation, a new default theme 0.65: dhex 0.64 crashed at startup on some systems. 0.66: searching for an ascii string with spaces works, some problems with the color themes were fixed 0.67: a "base address" functionality was added, which makes it easier to work with memory dumps. 0.68: slight bug fix as suggested by christoph: under some circumstances, the opening of a file could segfault. ---------------------------------------------------------[ 1. Getting started ]- Download the latest version from http://www.dettus.net/dhex/dhex_latest.tar.gz. Unpack it, % tar xvfz dhex_latest.tar.gz then compile it % make This should produce an executable. It requires a file as a paramter to start % ./dhex gpl.txt When starting for the first time, dhex will attempt to create a .dhexrc file in your $HOME-directory. If you already have a .dhexrc from an older version of dhex, it will convert it. The first screen you'll see will be the keyboard setup. (I was not satisfied with the way ncurses handled the function keys, so i created something new) The keyboard setup will be written into the .dhexrc file. You can edit the file, search for short strings in it, and scroll through it. After pressing F10 (or whichever key you pressed instead of F10 during the keyboard setup), dhex will ask you whether or not to save the changes. To invode the keyboard setup manually, just start dhex with the parameter -k % ./dhex -k gpl.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------[ 2. Diff mode ]- When you run dhex with two files, % ./dhex gpl.txt dhex it will start in the diff mode. This is useful for file comparison. Any difference in the files will be highlighted. To jump from one difference to the next, press F3. To go to the previous one, press F4. --------------------------------------------------------------------[ 3. Goto ]- Pressing F1 will open up the "Goto" dialog. Here you have three possibilities: Pressing = will set the cursor to the absolute address you're about to type in, Pressing + will advance the cursors those many bytes, Pressing - will go back those many bytes. Press "Go" to set the cursor, or "Cancel" to quit the dialog. Moreover, you can set up to ten bookmarks here. And save them for later use. ---------------------------------------------------------------[ 4. Searching ]- When not in diff mode, pressing F2 will invoke the "Search" dialog. You can search forward or backward. When selecting the "Writelog" option, you'll have to provide a filename to write the search results to. Later, when you select the "Readlog" option, it'll read the cursor positions where to search from this file. Otherwise dhex will search the whole file. When not selecting the "Writelog" option, the search dialog will immediately close upon finding the first occuracnce, and set the cursor there. Press F3 to go to the next occurace, or F4 to the previous one. Searching is also possible from the command line: Simply apply the -sa, -sab, -sh, -shb parameters. To write into a searchlog, -w is the parameter to go. To read from it, -r can be used. For example % ./dhex -oh affe -shb d00f dhex sets the cursor to 0xaffe, and searches for the hex string "d0 0f" backwards from there. % ./dhex -oh affe -shb d00f -w occurances.log dhex writes the results into a logfile called "occurances.log" and exits. -----------------------------------------------------------------[ 5. Hexcalc ]- Pressing F5 will open up the hexcalc dialog. This is a small 64-bit calculator. Simply type in a value in one of the formats "decimal", "hexadecimal" or "binary", chose an operation, press ENTER and see the results. You can select any former result by going up a few lines with the cursor keys. ------------------------------------------------------------[ 6. config-files ]- The default config file is $HOME/.dhexrc. Another config file can be chosen with the -f option: % ./dhex -f /etc/globaldhexrc gpl.txt Basically, a config file is broken down into two sections: Colors and keyboard conversion tab. The default config file on a MacBook looks like this: DHEXCOLORSCHEME #VERSION 0 #possible colors are: BLACK,GREEN,GREEN,YELLOW,BLUE,MAGENTA,CYAN,BLACK #possible extra flags are: UNDERLINE,REVERSE,BLINK,DIM,BOLD BRACKETS: FG=BLACK,BG=BLACK,BOLD HEXFIELD: FG=WHITE,BG=BLACK INPUT: FG=BLACK,BG=WHITE CURSOR: FG=WHITE,BG=BLACK TEXT: FG=WHITE,BG=BLACK,BOLD MENU_NORMAL: FG=CYAN,BG=BLACK MENU_HIGHLIGHT: FG=BLACK,BG=CYAN MENU_HOTKEY: FG=YELLOW,BG=BLACK,BOLD MENU_HOTKEY_HI: FG=YELLOW,BG=CYAN,BOLD FRAME: FG=BLUE,BG=BLACK,BOLD NORMAL_DIFF: FG=YELLOW,BG=BLACK CURSOR_DIFF: FG=YELLOW,BG=WHITE,BOLD HEADLINE: FG=BLUE,BG=BLACK,BOLD KEYF1:c2 a1 KEYF2:e2 84 a2 KEYF3:c2 a3 KEYF4:c2 a2 KEYF5:e2 88 9e KEYF6:c2 a7 KEYF7:c2 b6 KEYF8:e2 80 a2 KEYF9:c2 aa KEYF10:c2 ba KEYESC:1b KEYBACKSPACE:08 KEYDEL:1b KEYENTER:0a KEYTAB:09 KEYUP:1b 5b 41 KEYDOWN:1b 5b 42 KEYRIGHT:1b 5b 43 KEYLEFT:1b 5b 44 KEYPGUP:02 KEYPGDOWN:06 KEYHOME:5e KEYEND:24 (Actually, in this example ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3,... ALT+0 were used instead of F1..F10) You can edit it with any texteditor you like. --------------------------------------[ 7. Correlating two files in diff mode ]- Lets assume you would like to compare two files. One of those files starts with garbage at the beginning: file1: GARBAGE0123456789ABCDEF file2: 0123456789ABCDEF GARBAGE has 7 letters, so to skip over the first 7 bytes in the first file, just apply the following paramters: % dhex -o1d 7 file1 file2 -o sets the cursor offset. -o1 means that the first buffer is affected. -o1d gives the radix for the offset. it can either be -o1d for decimal, -o1b for binary, -o1h for hexadecimal or -o1o for octal. If the garbage is in the second file, just use % dhex -o2d 7 file1 file2 Since version 0.64 there is also a way of doing this automatically: Pressing F6 in the GUI will open up a dialog where you can select one of three correlation algorithms. They are painfully slow, but they'll do the job. Those three algorithms are: - best match move the two files in such a way that as many bytes match as possible - longest match move the two files in such a way that as many consecutive bytes match as possible - minimum diff move the two files in such a way that as little bytes differ as possible. This algorithm requires an upper limit to improve its speed. To invoke correlation from the command line, use one of these % dhex -cb file1 file2 # best match % dhex -cl file1 file2 # longest match % dhex -cd 1000 file1 file2 # minimum difference, with the upper limit of 1000. --------------------------------------------------------------[ 8.

Known bugs ]- - Searching has not been thourughly tested. - Code is not clean (yet) - Searching is only possible in normal mode, not diff mode - Searching ignores unsaved changes. - Some features are missing - -k expects a file to be opened - -f might overwrite ANY file. - GOTO can jump way behind the end of the file - some ways of exiting won't free all the allocated buffers
