Summary0008636: Hexwalk - Hex analyzer, editor, viewer with GUI
Description

https://github.com/gcarmix/hexwalk
https://launchpad.net/~carmix/+ppa-packages

HexWalk is an Hex editor, viewer, analyzer.

Based on opensource projects like qhexedit2,binwalk and QT.

It is cross platform and has plenty of features:

  • Advanced Find (can find patterns in binary files based on
    HEX,UTF8,UTF16 and regex)
  • Binwalk integration
  • Entropy Analysis
  • Hash Calculator
  • Bin/Dec/Hex Converter
  • Hex file editing
  • Diff file analysis
  • Byte Patterns to parse headers

It is smart tool especially for reverse engineers

I can also help in packaging since I already did the package for Ubuntu on launchpad

I would like to notify that the package has been accepted into debian backports for bookworm as you can see here:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hexwalk

Could you add it also on Kali?

Yep I can see that the package is in Debian testing, hence in Kali rolling at the moment (since Kali is based on Debian testing):

Package: hexwalk
Version: 1.7.1-1+b1

I think we can close the ticket.
