Today editors are more flexible compared to those in earlier days. Among them, WinHex has a unique place because of its versatile built-in features. The list of the features available will vary depending on the version you licensed.
WinHex comes with a bundle of tools which can save your time and work. On the one hand, WinHex is not a regular editor - it can edit executable files in hex mode showing you even those non-printable characters, such as carriage returns, tabs, and some other special characters. On the other hand, you can perform data analysis from pieces of data recovered via Scandisk or Chkdisk. You can easily perform file recovery and undelete tasks by using its File Recovery utility.
Memory editing is a great bonus for gamers, who can cheat by changing some of the values in order to level up, or by boosting up the energy to be used during the game. Besides, you can check your system’s physical memory searching for malicious activity. This is truly helpful when you are performing forensic works on the system.
If you get tired of making identical disks for a standard installation, try with the Disk Cloning feature inside WinHex. With this tool, you can clone any physical media connected to your system. Furthermore, it allows you to choose which sectors you wish to clone, and compare files or full disks. Its permanent deletion utility will give you extra privacy when sharing your system. WinHex supports deconstructing RAID 0-5 with a maximum of 16 components.
Take some time to read the manuals and the tips provided by experts before using this tool - inexperienced persons may easily make a mess of their computers when using this powerful tool.
v18.7 [Jan 29, 2016]
Revised hiberfil.sys support for 64-bit Windows.
hiberfil.sys slack (compressed data from previous usage of a hiberfil.sys file, as found near the end, if the last usage achieved stronger compression than the previous usage) is now automatically extracted and decompressed as part of "Uncover embedded data in various file types" and provided as a child object in its decompressed form.
Accuracy of file type verification further improved. Fewer file types with generic extensions are now unnecessarily marked as "newly identified", but confirmed if the full filename is appropriate for the file type.
Verification of many more file types supported. In total the file type verification can now recognize more than 3,000 file types.
File carving methods implemented for .cwm (screen capture videos) and Windows 8's .accountpicture-ms files. .accountpicture-ms files are now by default targeted for uncovering embedded files.
Type verification supported for .thumbdata3 files (Android files that are found for example on SD cards).
E-mail extraction adjusted in such a way that certain Base64-encoded e-mails are shown correctly by external programs after Recover/Copy.
