Are there some hex editors for Windows? Preferably open source or free since I don't need a hex editor all that often..

Things I do need is the ability to search in different types (text, raw hex, little endian short, big endian short, etc.) and viewing by type (same as searching types) starting at the selected byte. It would be nice to be able to create structs on the fly, so I can view binary blobs in the file. Binary file comparison is also a must, hopefully it would be smart and enable block detection.

I do know about the list on Wikipedia, but I don't really have time to try the 60 or hex editors, and I was wondering what other people use.

Personally, I use HxD (Free but not open source). Particular features of note include the ability to open very very large files, and you can modify raw disk data and open and edit data in RAM.

So, let’s begin!Important! Flash format download. Unfortunately, it's harder to recover data on a flash drive with this kind of damage.Consider the best programs for formatting flash drives, there are more or less versatile tools. Standard formatting is not solution at all if a file table information on the storage device has been corrupted. You can easily find other alternatives, free and proprietary utilities offered by manufacturers and download it for Windows.

Winhex is a decent tool for that.

This is a Stack Overflow version of the same question. There are a few more options so you can pick from the several recommended there if you do not like Winhex.
