Simple, fast, and feature-rich hex dump tool with customizable output, and highlighting.

---

Hexify is a command-line tool written in Go that generates a colored hex dump of a file. It supports custom width, line limits, and pattern highlighting, and it can output the result to a file.

Features 💡

• Display the hexadecimal representation of a file.
• Highlight specific byte patterns in the hex dump (e.g., "MZ" header).
• Set the width of each line and limit the number of lines.
• Save the hex dump to a file, without ANSI color codes.

Installation 🛠️

To install the hexify tool, you can simply use the following commands.

Windows

go install -v "github.com/yourpwnguy/hexify/cmd/hexify@latest"

go install -v "github.com/yourpwnguy/hexify/cmd/hexify@latest"

But Why Use Our Tool❓

I know there are many hex dump tools available (especially gui ones), but here's why I created Hexify: I wanted to understand how hex dumpers work under the hood, and I noticed a lack of flexible, easy-to-use hex dump CLI tools for Windows. With Hexify, you get a tool that’s simple, customizable, and designed to fit seamlessly into your workflow. Whether you're highlighting patterns, customizing output widths, or saving results to a file, Hexify is built to give you the control you need, without the bloat.
