What it is
Hiew is a Windows console program for viewing and editing files of unlimited size in text, hex, and disassembler modes. Its maker describes it as a classic since 1991. Disassembly includes x86-64 with AVX instruction support and an ArmV6 disassembler. Listed executable formats include NE, LE, LX, PE/PE32+, little-endian ELF and ELF64, Mach-O, and TE/TE64. Users can follow direct calls and jumps with a click and search instruction patterns in disassembler mode. Other listed capabilities include block operations, multi-file search and replace, keyboard macros, Unicode and UTF-8, binary templates, scripting, disk editing, plugins, and HEM modules. The free demo omits editing, crypt, assembler, 64-bit and ARM disassembly, drive support, keyboard macros, and HEM support, among other restrictions. The single-version license costs $25 as a one-time purchase with no updates. Lifetime updates cost $249 as a one-time purchase; Hiewix 32-bits costs $59, paid once with free 1-year updates.
