< p > DiskProbe is a HEX editor to view and alter data of a file or on a device on a byte-level. It's a very low-level tool and has therefore the potential to really mess things up if you're not careful!< / p >
< div class = "box-warning" > Always work with the backup of a file and be extra careful when working directly on a device.< / div >
< p > When starting DiskProbe you'll first be asked for the file or the device to work on. After that you are presented with this interface:< / p >

< p > < img id = "diskprobe" src = "../images/apps-images/diskprobe.png" alt = "diskprobe.png" / > < / p >
2009-03-04 20:29:50 +03:00
< p > The main view shows always one block of data, the size of which can be adjusted with < span class = "menu" > View | BlockSize< / span > . To the left is the offset to the start of the block, in the middle the data as HEX values and to the right the same as ASCII symbols.< br / >
2010-01-14 10:00:47 +03:00
You can move from block to block with the slider above or with < span class = "key" > ALT< / span > < span class = "key" > ←< / span > and < span class = "key" > ALT< / span > < span class = "key" > →< / span > and switch between the HEX and ASCII columns with < span class = "key" > TAB< / span > .< / p >
2018-09-26 08:46:30 +03:00
< p > < span class = "menu" > Block | Selection< / span > will not only show the selection with different endianess (and in HEX or decimal, set by < span class = "menu" > View | Base< / span > ), it will also interpret the selection as a block offset that you can jump to. It will be grayed out if the position is outside of the file/device.< br / >
2009-03-04 20:29:50 +03:00
This is a handy feature mostly when looking at file systems, as they often contain pointers to other blocks.< / p >
2014-04-05 20:48:32 +04:00
< p > If the file you're probing includes attributes, the < span class = "menu" > Attributes< / span > menu can be used to open any of them in a new DiskProbe window. Here's the SYS:PACKAGE attribute of the < span class = "app" > AboutSystem< / span > application:

2009-03-04 20:29:50 +03:00
< p > Depending on the kind of attribute, you'll get a different editor tab besides the always present < i > Raw Editor< / i > . For example, there are editors for strings and MIME types or an icon viewer for the vectoricon attribute.< / p >
