Hi all,

I would like to start trying to do some reverse engineering of
malware, just for learning purposes and I'd like to get some opinions
on a good hex editor.  Preferably freeware and beginner friendly, if
there is such.  I have looked at a couple, but wasn't sure if one was
much better than another.  I wanted to get some more experienced
user's thoughts.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

I'd Suggest Hex workshop (you are on windows right?) I'd also suggest
for reverse engineering that you get your hands on win32dasm and ollydbg
and learn how to use them. they rock. (soft ice too)


Win32dasm is still up?  I haven't been able to get an updated
version in a long time.

As for ollydbg,  I had some problems with it.  Decided to debug
a program to see how it goes in disassembling it when it
took a while.   So I rebooted and found out that my normally
40GB HD had become a 1TB hd.  Needless to say, I wasn't
too impressed and had to reinstall Windows. :)
