## Making a Hexeditor
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, we're building a little hexeditor. You will be able to install
|
||||
it on your system and use it instead of the `hexdump` and `xxd` built into most
|
||||
Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Hexdumping is actually really simple, all you have to do is read a file and
|
||||
print it's direct content interpreted as numbers in hexadecimal. Apply some
|
||||
fancy string formatting and we're done!
|
||||
|
||||
The editing part is a lot harder. It requires us to build a functioning TUI -
|
||||
Terminal User Interface, as working with command line arguments or regular
|
||||
reading from stdin won't help us much for editing a file. (if that's your thing,
|
||||
use `ed`.).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If you're looking for a great, fully featured hexeditor, I'd recommend
|
||||
`bvi` ("binary vi"), which is packaged by most distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
-> `apt-get install bvi`
|
||||
|
||||
Note: I have no Idea how to install a python script as executable on windows, I
|
||||
don't like windows either, so no support for installing stuff on windows.

### A. Hexdumper
|
||||
Difficulty: 2/5
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Dump the data of [data/metasyntactic.md](./data/metasyntactic.md) -- In
|
||||
Hexadecumal.
|
||||
2. Make the dumped Bytes look pretty, something like the example below:
