Usage

HexWalk release executables are self-contained, you can use as-is. Binwalk functionalities need Binwalk to be installed on the OS. For Linux OS simply install binwalk with your package manager (eg. sudo apt install binwalk). On Mac install with "brew install binwalk" or from sources following the instructions on Binwalk repository.

For more details about the usage go to the Wiki:

Binwalk on Windows OS

For Windows, Binwalk support is done using a python helper file that launches the commands and must be on the same path of hexwalk.exe. Binwalk is provided in the binwalk_windows folder and should not be installed manually, as it is called by the helper file.

Build

If you want to build from source just open hexedit.pro in QT Creator and build it. It is possible also to build from command line (linux_build.sh script provided).

Ubuntu

The project is also available on launchpad https://launchpad.net/hexwalk to install on Ubuntu you can simply do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:carmix/ppa
