About:
Bed is a binary editor written in Go that operates directly in the terminal. It provides a vim-like interface for editing raw file bytes without needing a GUI. This makes it ideal for low-level file manipulation and hex editing tasks.
Key Features:
  • Vim-like modal editing
  • Hexadecimal and binary views
  • Supports large files
  • Terminal-based interface
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting and modifying binary executables
  • Analyzing file headers and raw data structures
  • Quick hex editing tasks
Alternatives:
  • hexedit – Classic terminal hex editor with a simpler, non-modal interface
  • vim – General-purpose text editor that can edit binary files but lacks specialized hex views
