Getting Started: Installation & First Edit

• ImHex is another modern hex editor (by WerWolv), built in C++ with ImGui. It has a cool pattern language and disassembly views.
• Helium is notably simpler to install (no need for pattern language knowledge) and more usable as a pure hex editor. ImHex is better for reverse engineers who want integrated YARA or disassembly; Helium is better for general purpose.

For professional reverse engineers doing large-scale binary analysis with complex data structures, 010 Editor or ImHex might be better due to scripting. But for 99% of hex editing tasks, Helium is faster, lighter, and free. Official GitHub: github
