    • Project mention: The Hiew Hex Editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-02

    Everything Hiew can do, Rizin[1] can do too, and is completely free and open source[2] under LGPL3 license. Moreover, it supports more architectures, platforms, and file formats, as well as GUI in Qt - Cutter[3][4]. If something is missing in Rizin but presented in Hiew, please let us know by opening the issue with details.

    • Project mention: The Hiew Hex Editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-02

    Sorry for the late answer. Yes, there is. We hoped a Keystone-based[1] plugin would be a better alternative since it's based on the LLVM code, but the project looks abandoned now[2].
