About:
Ht is a terminal-based viewer, editor, and analyzer for executables. It supports various executable formats and allows for low-level manipulation of binary data. This makes it a powerful tool for reverse engineering and security analysis directly from the command line.
Key Features:
  • Supports ELF, PE, and Java class file formats
  • Hex editor and disassembler functionality
  • Terminal-based user interface (ncurses)
  • Scriptable for automation tasks
Use Cases:
  • Analyzing malware samples to understand their behavior
  • Patching binaries to modify program logic or bypass checks
  • Inspecting compiled programs when source code is unavailable
Alternatives:
  • radare2 – radare2 is a much more comprehensive framework with advanced scripting and a larger feature set, whereas Ht is a more lightweight, focused tool.
  • hexdump – hexdump is a standard utility for viewing raw binary data, but lacks the editing, analysis, and format-aware features of Ht.
